Philadelphia Union will face four Western Conference opponents in their first fives MLS regular season matches of 2015. Additionally, the Union will welcome MLS newcomers New York City FC to PPL Park on April 11.
Amobi Okugo, Pedro Ribeiro and Danny Mwanga will not return to Philly until the last game of the season, when the Union host Orlando City FC on October 25th.
The Union’s first nationally televised match will be Friday, March 20 against FC Dallas on UniMas. Philly then travels to Chicago for a Sunday, March 29 matchup with Chicago Fire on ESPN2, followed by a Sunday, April 5 trip to Sporting Kansas City that will be broadcast on Fox Sports 1.
Philadelphia Union announced PPL Park will host Irish Night during the March 20 match against Dallas, with Road to Canada Night on June 6 when NYC FC comes to town.
Will Lucky the leprechaun return for Irish night?
I certainly hope so.
Practically all night games. Including Sundays. That sucks.
Why are we away to the Galaxy again this year?
Because the Galaxy need the bump in attendance.

Nicely played, sir.
The league is afraid we’ll boo Gerrard.
Gerrard won’t be able to play in that game since he has to wait for the summer transfer window to open.
Will the Unimas game be broadcast in English as well?
yes
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!!! Love having a home game on my birthday. Epic tailgate in Lot A. Santa granted one of my Christmas wishes which is nice because 6 of the other ten got nixed. Still hoping for Nogs, a playoff game and my Orlando jersey.
For the two MLS rivalry weekends, the Union play Montreal and New England…Was anyone aware that those are the big rivals for the U?
Apparently MLS is calling that last weekend ‘Decision Day’, and running all the games at the same time. Hopefully Okugo’s homecoming is a meaningful game.
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! More money for us. No talent for you! We had a chance to chase Altidore, but we decided to dump some more talent instead.
I strongly recommend you keep your dollars in your pocket, and check out Harrisburg, or even the Phillies instead. The Phils have a much better chance of being better sooner!
August 1st, can’t wait. Love when the pink cows come to town.
Looking at the first nine (9) games, you could see the Union’s record 0-9 or 2-7 with the current squad (especially if Edu isn’t here). #squeakybumtime
