RECENT FORM VS. PHILADELPHIA UNION

New England fell in both meetings against the Philadelphia Union last season, only earning three points against the defending Supporters' Shield winners in their last seven matchups. While the Union own the upper hand against the Revs recently, their history is a bit more even at Gillette Stadium, where the Revs currently own a perfect 5-0-0 record to start the season.

The Revs are coming off their fifth win in six games, carrying a six-game unbeaten streak to welcome Philadelphia. Last match, the Revolution triumphed 1-0 over Charlotte FC, to match their club-record best home start to a season (5-0-0, 2021). 

Philadelphia arrive in New England following a slow start to 2026, only finding a single win through 11 games. It took the Union until Aprill 11 to find their first three points and since have carried a little more momentum, going 1-1-3 in their last five games. 

The match against the Union will mark the second in a four-game homestand for New England, who will take on Nashville SC in a midweek duel next Wednesday night.

SHOW YOUR COLORS

The Revolution will sport the "Independence Day" kit on Saturday night. Released at the start of the 2026 season, it will serve as the team's Club Kit through the 2026-27 campaigns.

Honoring 250 years of American Independence, the kit pays homage to the New England history which helped shape the country. The bold design leans into the themes of celebration, inspired by the classic patriotic bunting and the fireworks displays that have been lighting up New England skies for a quarter Millenium. With the Heritage Tree on the shirtfront and "Est. 1776" on the collar, the kit embodies New England pride. 

The Independence Day jersey is paired with navy shorts adorned by three red stripes down each side. The red, white, and blue socks also sport the Revolution seal across the shins.
