Full 2021 Philadelphia Union schedule released
Major League Soccer finally released the full schedule for the 2021 season and in doing so revealed how little play there will be between teams in the two conferences.
Each of the 27 teams in the league will play just two opposing conference teams this season. The Union host Portland Timbers and visit Minnesota United in their longest road trip of the season (1,164 miles stadium-to-stadium).
Within their conference, the Union will play six teams three times and the other seven teams twice. That leaves 11 teams in the league they will not face in the regular season. The Union didn’t play 12 teams in regular season matches that counted toward their first Supporters’ Shield trophy in 2020.
