Philadelphia Union History
The Philadelphia Union joined MLS for the 2010 season. The team have appeared in the playoffs eight times and, in 2022, had their deepest postseason run, winning the Eastern Conference Championship and making their first-ever appearance in the MLS Cup. They've been a regular in the U.S. Open Cup's later stages, including three runner-up finishes in 2014, 2015 and 2018. In the meantime, goalkeeper Andre Blake was awarded the Goalkeeper of the Year honors for a record three times (in 2016, 2020 and 2022).?
In 2020, the club won their first Supporters' Shield for the best regular season record in MLS. After advancing to the 2022 MLS Cup Finals and ultimately falling to Los Angeles FC, the club placed third in the 2023 Leagues Cup tournament, automatically qualifying the club for the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup. The Union have played under head coach Jim Curtin since 2014.
