Philadelphia Union history
Founded on February 28, 2008, the Union joined MLS as an expansion club and played their first season in 2010. They compete in the Eastern Conference, and their riverside home in Chester holds 18,500.
Keystone Sports & Entertainment owns the club, with Jay Sugarman as majority owner and chairman. Basketball star Kevin Durant holds a minority stake. Philadelphia has knocked on the door many times. The Union finished second in the U.S. Open Cup in 2014, 2015 and 2018, then lost the 2022 MLS Cup final. The regular season has been kinder: in 2025 they won the Supporters' Shield for the league's best record, the second time the club has done it. An MLS Cup is still the missing piece, so the count sits at zero, but the team has been close enough to taste it.
