D.C. United News Release


WASHINGTON, D.C. - D.C. United today announced that Season Ticket Memberships for the club's 2026 Major League Soccer campaign at Audi Field are now available for purchase at www.dcunited.com/tickets/memberships. The 2026 MLS Regular Season schedule and single-match ticket availability will be announced at a later date.

"The heartbeat of Audi Field comes from our members, the fans who bring the noise and the passion that make this stadium special," said Danita Johnson, President of Business Operations at D.C. United. "Heading into 2026, we've listened carefully to fan feedback and are introducing new membership options that give every supporter the flexibility and value they're looking for. Whether you want an affordable, consistent experience in your same seat or an all-inclusive, premium matchday, there's a plan built just for you."

Two Membership Options for 2026

For the first time since moving into Audi Field, D.C. United fans can now choose between two Season Ticket Membership options, Standard and Premier, each offering a tailored experience to match the way you support the Black-and-Red. Both packages come with no increase in price from the 2025 season as a thank-you to the club's loyal fan base.

Fans who have already renewed their multi-year memberships for 2026 will automatically be enrolled in the Premier Membership, the club's most comprehensive offering that delivers elevated benefits, increased flexibility, and greater value throughout the year, all at no additional cost.

"These new membership options are the result of a fresh look at how we serve our fans," said Sean Sittnick, Senior Vice President of Ticket Sales and Service at D.C. United. "With a new Head Coach leading the team and a new ticketing leadership group in place, this was the right time to rethink how we connect with our supporters. Much like an airline model, we've introduced two clear options, one that delivers the most robust benefit package, and another focused on providing unbeatable value. More than anything, our goal is to make it easy to be a member and to keep connecting with our fans through better service, flexibility, and experiences that truly matter."

Standard Membership

Designed for supporters who want the most affordable way to experience every home match while still enjoying core benefits. Standard Members receive priority seating and season-long savings with the same great seat for all matches. This plan includes limited ticket exchanges and represents the best value in general seating at Audi Field for 2026. To learn more or purchase a Standard Membership for the 2026 season, visit www.dcunited.com/tickets/memberships.

Premier Membership

Built for fans who want the full D.C. United experience. Premier Members receive all the benefits of the Standard plan, plus the most flexible ticket exchange platform, additional credits for tickets, concessions, and merchandise, and elevated perks throughout the season. Premium and club-level Members also retain all-inclusive food and beverage access, ensuring an unmatched matchday experience. Only Premier Members receive a 20 percent discount on D.C. United concessions and merchandise. To learn more or purchase a Premier Membership for the 2026 season, visit www.dcunited.com/tickets/memberships.

Additional Flexible Options

In addition to reimagining Season Ticket Memberships, D.C. United is introducing two new flexible products for the 2026 season to make membership more accessible than ever:

The D.C. United Pass - Starting at $299, this non-transferable, non-resellable pass allows fans to attend the majority of home matches in different seats throughout the season, offering an affordable way to experience Audi Field in new and exciting ways each game.

Partial Plans - For fans looking for ultimate flexibility, new customizable plans allow supporters to select as few as three matches that best fit their schedule.

Pricing across all seating categories will remain consistent with 2025, with reduced pricing continuing for the Standard Membership.

Renewed First Team Optimism

The 2026 season represents a fresh chapter for D.C. United, both on the field under new Head Coach René Weiler, and off the field through new membership options that strengthen the connection between the club and its supporters.

"Our members are the foundation of everything we do," Sittnick added. "Whether you're renewing, upgrading, or joining for the first time, there's never been a better moment to be part of this new era for the Black-and-Red."

This excitement also comes at a historic time for soccer in the United States, with the 2026 FIFA World Cup on the horizon. D.C. United will have access to exclusive hospitality packages available for purchase ahead of the tournament, and Audi Field will host a variety of World Cup-themed events to celebrate the world's biggest tournament right here in Washington, D.C.

Exclusive Benefits for Every Member

All Season Ticket Members will continue to receive key benefits including:

Savings of up to 30 percent compared to single-match pricing

A complimentary MLS Season Pass subscription to watch D.C. United on Apple TV

A 20 percent discount on Audi Field concessions and merchandise for Premier Members

Priority access to playoff tickets, friendlies, and special events
