DC United will miss the MLS playoffs for the seventh consecutive season, extending the club's longest postseason drought in franchise history.
The Washington, D.C.-based team's elimination from playoff contention confirms another disappointing campaign for one of the league's founding members. DC United, which won four MLS Cup titles between 1996 and 2004, has not reached the postseason since 2019.
The club's struggles continue despite significant roster investments and coaching changes over recent years. The seven-year playoff absence marks the most extended barren spell since the franchise's inception in 1996.
