D.C. United 2025 schedule, players and season preview

One of the original clubs in Major League Soccer, D.C. United has always carried the weight of history—and in 2025, they’re aiming to make that legacy matter again.

With new leadership on the touchline, an evolving roster, and a fanbase that still echoes across Audi Field, the Black-and-Red are leaning into a season of grit, growth, and (hopefully) glory.

⚡ A fresh identity

This year’s D.C. United squad feels different—and that’s by design.

After a few turbulent seasons, the front office made key offseason moves: a revamped coaching approach, focus on defensive structure, and an investment in young attacking midfielders. The result? A team that fights hard, defends deep, and doesn’t back down from a grind-it-out 90 minutes.

📊 Where they stand now

Wins: 3
Draws: 3
Losses: 2
Goals scored: 11
Goals allowed: 9

Not a bad start for a team finding its rhythm—and banking crucial points along the way.

🧠 Leaders and breakout stars

🛡️ Veterans holding it down

Tyler Miller has been reliable between the posts, making clutch saves to keep D.C. in tight matches.
Steven Birnbaum, the veteran center back, continues to anchor the backline with calm and confidence.

🌱 Young blood stepping up

Ted Ku-DiPietro is showing flashes of creative brilliance in midfield and already has two assists to his name.
New international signing Joaquín Torres adds flair and unpredictability to the attack, creating space and chances where none exist.

“We’re not trying to be flashy—we’re trying to win,” said the coach after a 1–0 road victory. “That’s the kind of soccer we’re proud of.”

🏟️ Audi Field: Still electric

There’s something about watching a game in Southwest D.C. that never gets old.

The supporters’ sections—Screaming Eagles, La Barra Brava, and District Ultras—are bringing the noise every matchday, waving the flags, banging drums, and keeping the spirit of ‘96 alive. Even in transitional years, this fanbase shows up.

🛠️ Work in progress—but with purpose

No one’s handing D.C. United a playoff spot in 2025. This team knows it has to fight for every point, and that’s exactly what makes them compelling.

They’re not the flashiest roster. They’re not the highest-paid. But they are hungry. And as the season unfolds, they could be one of the dark horses that surprises the entire Eastern Conference.

🚨 Final word

This isn’t a throwback tour—it’s a rebuild with bite. Whether you’ve been with the Black-and-Red since RFK days or just discovered the badge, this year offers something rare: a team on the verge of something new.
