This would be the Union 2nd ever home playoff game  in the teams history, their first game was in 2011 in loss to Houston.

If the MLS playoffs started today, here is how it would look

So what is the road like for the Union?

Oct 6 vs NYCFC at 4PM on 6ABC

When the Union play San Jose, they will catch a big break thanks to a red card.

When the Union take on the Red Bulls on Sep 22, there will be a different feel when it comes to its game broadcast.

It has been a while since the Union sent their pregame and  game announcers to a road site and lots of fans have been wondering how come they dont do it more often. This is a big step for bigger things to come for the local game broadcast.

The 2019 season for the Union has been something awesome, and it starting to get more people in Philadelphia involved and talking about the Union and now the local news stations are showing the game highlights and the radio stations like 97.5 the Fanatic, 94.1 WIP & Fox Sports The Gambler are talking about the Union.
