The Philadelphia Union continued their poor run of form to start the 2026 MLS season with a 1-0 loss to the undefeated San Jose Earthquakes at home on Saturday evening, March 7th. The defending Supporters Shield winners have now gone the first 270 minutes of the 2026 MLS season without scoring a goal in open play (the Union’s only goal on the season came against NYCFC on an Indiana Vassilev penalty) while allowing four goals to opponents.

Our new site design highlights the great images our photographers capture, is easier to navigate and more responsive and accessible for all out readers.
