New York Red Bulls 2025 schedule, players and season preview

Let’s be honest - the Red Bulls have always done things their way.

While other MLS teams chase flashy signings and viral moments, the New York Red Bulls stick to what they do best: pressing high, developing talent, and never making life easy for the opponent.

Now, in 2025, it’s starting to click again - and you can feel it.

🔁 A classic Red Bulls season - with a twist

This year’s team still runs like mad. Still plays with that chip on their shoulder. But there’s also more composure, more maturity - especially in the final third.

After years of “almosts” and early playoff exits, fans are ready for more than just effort. And this group? It feels like they’re ready to deliver.

📊 Midseason form check

Wins: 4
Draws: 3
Losses: 1
Goals scored: 11
Goals conceded: 7

Solid foundation, especially defensively. If the attack can heat up in the summer, this team could be dangerous come fall.

🔥 Who’s leading the charge?

💥 Emil Forsberg

The veteran Swedish midfielder brings calm to the chaos. He’s pulling strings, hitting clever through balls, and giving RBNY a true playmaker in the middle - something that’s been missing for a while.

🧤 Carlos Coronel

One of the best keepers in MLS right now. Calm, confident, and clutch when it counts. His leadership from the back has been massive.

🌱 Daniel Edelman

The local kid continues to impress. Tough in the tackle, sharp on the ball, and looking more like a captain-in-waiting every game.

“People underestimate us every year. And every year, we show up,” said head coach Sandro Schwarz. “This time, we’re here to stay.”

🗓️ Key games to watch

May 11: Hudson River Derby vs. NYCFC - It’s personal. Always has been.
August 3: Home vs. Philadelphia Union - Two physical teams. Expect fireworks.
October 18: Decision Day at Chicago Fire - Playoff spots or seeding likely on the line.

🏟️ Red Bull Arena still hits different

Let’s talk atmosphere.

Harrison, NJ isn’t Midtown, but it doesn’t have to be. Red Bull Arena stays loud, passionate, and unapologetically Jersey. The South Ward brings it every game, and when RBNY presses from the first whistle, it turns the place into a pressure cooker.

📈 What’s the ceiling?

The Red Bulls don’t need to be the best team on paper. They just need to stay healthy, keep defending like warriors, and get that one breakout scorer to catch fire down the stretch.

With the Eastern Conference wide open, a home playoff game feels realistic, and from there - who knows?

This team has the DNA to go on a run. Finally.

🗣️ Final word

2025 isn’t about reinventing the wheel. It’s about doubling down on the Red Bulls identity: relentless, ruthless, real.

Whether you’re behind the drums in the South Ward or streaming from the subway, you know what this club is about - and this year, they just might turn effort into silverware.
