"With approval of a new stadium and a core of returning players from the top team in the Eastern Conference last season, D.C. United has fantastic momentum, and we expect more excitement in the season ahead."

As the official sports network of D.C. United, Comcast SportsNet will deliver comprehensive news, digital and original content covering the Black-and-Red throughout the season, highlighted by a new monthly show, D.C. United Central .
