Union Host Toronto to Close 2026 Season

The Philadelphia Union host Toronto FC at Subaru Park on Saturday, November 7, in the final regular-season match of 2026. A win would lift the Union to sixth in the Eastern Conference.

Why it matters

Philadelphia became the first MLS side to clinch a playoff berth, but a four-match winless run has left the final standings still in play. The result will shape the Union's seeding as they look to add to a history of playoff appearances in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia has collected at least a point in six straight meetings against Toronto at Subaru Park, and Toronto has missed the playoffs six consecutive times. Geiner Martinez is questionable with a knee injury, while Danley Jean Jacques is eligible to return from suspension.
