Minnesota United secured a victory over the San Jose Earthquakes on Sunday, but the win was not enough to propel the Loons into the MLS Cup Playoffs. The match took place on November 8, 2026, as the regular season concluded.
Despite the positive result, Minnesota United's postseason hopes ended with the final whistle. The team needed a combination of results elsewhere to qualify, but those scenarios did not materialize. The Loons finish the season with a win but without a playoff berth.
