D.C. United — news, fixtures and a simple fan guide

Want quick updates on D.C. United? This page brings you the latest headlines, fixture info, and practical tips for following the team. Whether you’re checking match times, planning a trip to Audi Field, or hunting live scores, we keep it short and usable.

Quick club facts you should know

D.C. United is a founding MLS club and plays home games at Audi Field in the Navy Yard area of Washington, D.C. The club wears black and red and has a long history of strong supporters and local rivalries. The Atlantic Cup against the New York Red Bulls is one of the fiercest matchups you’ll see each season.

Want context before a match? Look for the kickoff time, the confirmed lineup, and any late injury news. If you need form, check the last five results and goal scorers — that tells you more than long previews.

How to follow matches and updates

Stream or watch: Many MLS matches are available on MLS Season Pass and on local broadcasters. If you prefer live text, follow our match reports and minute-by-minute updates on Desert Rose Daily for quick recaps and key moments.

Social and alerts: Turn on notifications from the club’s official accounts and from Desert Rose Daily. We post score alerts, major signings, and press conference highlights so you don’t miss anything important.

Matchday at Audi Field: Take the Metro to Navy Yard-Ballpark station — it puts you within a short walk of the stadium. Arrive early to avoid lines, check the stadium’s bag policy, and bring a small clear bag if you plan to take gear inside. Food and drink options are plentiful inside, but local bars nearby are great for a pre-game atmosphere.

Tickets and saving money: Buy official tickets through the club or trusted resale partners. Midweek games and late-season fixtures sometimes have cheaper seats. If you want the loudest section, look for supporter group sections like La Norte or the Screaming Eagles — they sell group tickets and stand throughout the match.

What to watch this season: Watch for tactical changes from the coach and which players step up in big moments. Pay attention to set pieces and counter attacks — they often decide tight MLS games. Also track transfer-window moves; a single signing can change the team’s trajectory quickly.

Need instant context? Our match previews highlight form, injury updates, and how each game affects the standings. Post-game, we publish short reports with key events and stats so you can catch up in under five minutes.

Want more local perspective or fan stories? We publish interviews, stadium guides, and opinion pieces that go beyond match facts. Bookmark this tag for a single place to check all D.C. United coverage on Desert Rose Daily.
