D.C. United Rivalries
D.C. has been around since the very beginning of MLS soccer in the mid-90’s. That’s a long runway to build up some serious rivalries, especially when they dominated the first three seasons of the league. Here’s a look at two of their most well-known rivalries.
D.C. United vs. New York Red Bulls
The rivalry with the New York Red Bulls, known as the Atlantic Cup, is one of MLS’s oldest and fiercest rivalries, dating back to the league’s inception in 1996. The competition is fueled by the geographic proximity of the two clubs along the I-95 corridor and their frequent high-stakes matchups, including playoff encounters. Both teams have traded dominance over the years, but their meetings remain heated and highly anticipated by fans.
D.C. United won’t play the Red Bulls again this season.
D.C. United vs. New England Revolution
D.C. United also has a long-standing rivalry with the New England Revolution, another original MLS club. This rivalry has been marked by numerous playoff battles, particularly during the early 2000s when both teams were consistently strong contenders in the Eastern Conference. Their encounters continue to be competitive, adding to the history between these two founding members of MLS.
D.C. United will take on the Revs on Saturday, Oct 5 at 7:30 p.m. ET.
