Philadelphia Union's 2026 Major League Soccer Campaign
Philadelphia Union endured a tough 2026 campaign in Major League Soccer, finishing 15th with just 7 points from 15 matches. Their record stood at one win, four draws, and ten losses, highlighting a season where victories were as rare as a sunny day in Manchester. The Union scored 18 goals but conceded 30, resulting in a goal difference of minus 12.
Their struggles were more pronounced on home turf, where they failed to secure a single win, drawing three and losing three, with just three goals scored and six conceded. Away from home, the Union managed their solitary win and one draw but endured seven defeats. Clean sheets were hard to come by, with only two recorded at home and none away.
Looking ahead, the Union will be eager to rebuild and find some stability after a campaign that tested their mettle. With plenty of miles left in the journey, they’ll want a sharper edge to their play and, ideally, points to match.

Philadelphia Union's 2026 Major League Soccer Campaign
Philadelphia Union have endured a challenging 2026 MLS campaign so far, sitting 15th with just one win from 15 matches. Their form has been inconsistent at best, with a solitary victory overshadowed by ten defeats and four draws. The lack of any notable winning streak suggests a season marked by sporadic successes rather than sustained good form.
Points have been harder to come by due to frequent losses rather than draws, indicating struggles to close out matches or perhaps occasional defensive lapses. The Union have found it particularly tough away from home, with all their wins and clean sheets coming on home turf. Their goal difference of -12 and 18 goals scored against 30 conceded further underline the difficulties faced in both attack and defence this season.

Philadelphia Union: Home and Away Form Analysis
Philadelphia Union's 2026 Major League Soccer campaign reveals a stark contrast between their home and away performances. At home, they've struggled to find the net, scoring just 3 goals across 6 matches, while conceding 6 — modest, but at least they've managed 2 clean sheets on their own turf. Away, however, is a different story altogether: 15 goals scored but a worrying 24 conceded, and not a single clean sheet to their name.
This split suggests a team that perhaps feels more exposed and less disciplined on the road, despite their higher scoring tally. Their solitary win came away from home, which might be a small silver lining, but the defensive frailties away from Philadelphia are glaring and have contributed heavily to their current league standing.
