CHESTER, Pa. - Philadelphia Union II will host Huntsville City FC in the second round of the 2025 MLS NEXT Pro Playoffs on Saturday, October 25 at Subaru Park. The Eastern Conference Semifinal kicks off at 6:00 p.m. ET on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV. Tickets can be purchased HERE.
Union II advanced to the Semifinals after defeating FC Cincinnati 2 by a score of 2-1, with forward Stas Korzeniowski scoring both goals.

The Conference Finals (weekend of October 31) and MLS NEXT Pro Cup (weekend of November 7) will follow a traditional bracket style, after the first two rounds' matchups were determined by the League's Pick-Your-Opponent format.
