Philly Leader

Tickets for Philadelphia Union II's first-ever home playoff match are now available. The game is set to take place at Subaru Park on Sunday, October 20th.

Union II currently leads the Eastern Conference by one point heading into MLS NEXT Pro Decision Day on Sunday, October 6th. A victory would secure the No. 1 seed for the team, a first in club history. Throughout the season, Union II has demonstrated its Player Pathway philosophy with the youngest average age in the league.

Union II is one of only three teams to make the postseason in all three years of MLS NEXT Pro history, joining St. Louis CITY SC 2 and Tacoma Defiance from the Western Conference. Despite their perceived lack of experience, Union II has consistently performed under pressure.

The team's success has also been reflected individually with Andrew Rick, CJ Olney, and David Vazquez earning MLS Homegrown contracts. Additionally, Union Academy graduate Frankie Westfield secured his first professional contract with Union II. Contributions have come from across the organization with 12 members of Union's MLS squad appearing in matches this season for Union II and a record 18 members of the Union Academy making matchday rosters in 2024.

The 2024 MLS NEXT Pro Playoffs will again feature the "pick-your-opponent" format introduced last year. Eight teams from each conference will qualify (16 total), with seeds No. 1-4 hosting and selecting their opponents in the first round. In the second round, the highest remaining seed in each conference will choose an opponent from any of the remaining three teams. This year's postseason includes a total of 15 matches culminating in MLS NEXT Pro Cup.
