Philadelphia Union clinched a berth in the 2026 MLS Cup Playoffs after New England defeated the New York Red Bulls, with former Union star Dániel Gazdag scoring the winning goal. The Union then earned a 0-0 draw at Supporters’ Shield-winning Nashville despite missing three top attackers, ending a month-long run without a shutout and adding a valuable point. Philadelphia sits sixth in the Eastern Conference with two regular-season matches left, against Cincinnati and Toronto, and can still improve its playoff seeding.

Two games left to move up the table and maybe lock in a home playoff game.

A scoreless draw against Nashville was the right result given how strong they are this year.
