Winslow Townson-USA TODAY Sports D.C. United heads to the west coast for the only time during the 2021 regular season, as they face the San Jose Earthquakes in what may be the latest kickoff of a game in team history. It’s also a game that could be dramatic: United’s pressure and willingness to create physical duels will be met by Matias Almeyda’s notorious man-marking system in a game that has all the signs of being a battle. Throw in some traditional #MLSAfterDark vibes, and we might be in for a deeply weird match tonight. Key player: Julian Gressel ....
2021 Loudoun United preview Share this story Xavi Dussaq / Loudoun United Like a lot of teams, Loudoun United had a lot thrown at them in 2020 with the Covid lockdowns impacting their team through most of the season, the end result being one that many would like to forget.

Peter Casey-USA TODAY Sports D.C. United is looking to start the Hernán Losada era off with a win today as they kick off the 2021 MLS season against NYCFC. After an offseason full of changes to the coaching staff, front office, and roster, United is hoping to prove that they’re a more formidable side than they’ve been in the last couple of seasons. The first step on that path sees New York City FC come to the District.
