Regardless of the result on Sunday, the Philadelphia Union will be in the Concacaf Champions League next season for the first time.
Orlando City’s 2-1 win over Columbus Crew on Wednesday night eliminated the Crew from the Supporters’ Shield race. The Union are guaranteed the Supporters’ Shield with a win over New England Revolution on Sunday. They would need help from other games if they drop points.
The Union are guaranteed a Champions League berth because Toronto FC can’t qualify through MLS competition and the Portland Timbers have already qualified for Champions League by winning the MLS is Back Tournament.
