D.C. United 2025 soccer season
The 2025 season will be D.C. United 's 30th in existence and its 30th consecutive season in the top division of American soccer , Major League Soccer . Pending announcements from the club, it is expected that the team will participated in the 2025 U.S. Open Cup and the 2025 Leagues Cup in addition to MLS play.
It will be Troy Lesesne 's second season with the club and Ally Mackay's second season as general manager. The club finished 20th in the league and 10th in the Eastern Conference during the 2024 season . D.C. United has not qualified for the MLS Cup playoffs since 2019.
The 2024 D.C. United season saw the arrival of Ally Mackay as general manager following the dismissal of Dave Kasper , and Troy Lesesne as head coach following the sacking of Wayne Rooney . Entering the season, expectations among the media were low among the club, and most expected the team to finish at the bottom of the table, and possibly win the Wooden Spoon. The club vastly improved their attack thanks to a Golden Boot-winning season by Christian Benteke as well as acquisitions of players such as Aaron Herrera , Jared Stroud , and Lucas Bartlett . However, the club let in a record 70 goals, the third worst in the league, which offset the 52 goals they scored during the season.
Benteke and Herrera nevertheless were named All-Stars and the former won the MLS Golden Boot , becoming the first D.C. United player to win the boot since Dwayne De Rosario did so in 2011.
