Nashville, TN – Nashville SC will take on the Philadelphia Union on Saturday, July 5, 2025, at 7:30 p.m. CT at GEODIS Park in a pivotal Eastern Conference battle. Currently, Nashville SC is in third place with 38 points, closely trailing the Union, who are at the top with 40 points. A victory for Nashville could propel them into the conference’s top spot, provided Cincinnati does not win against the Chicago Fire.
The match is significant not only for the standings but also because Nashville SC is riding a remarkable unbeaten streak of 9 wins, 0 losses, and 4 draws since April 19 across both MLS and the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. This unbeaten run is currently the longest active streak in Major League Soccer (MLS).
Integral to Nashville’s success is forward Sam Surridge, who leads the MLS Golden Boot race with a total of 16 goals this season, three goals ahead of his nearest competitor, Tai Baribo of the Philadelphia Union. Surridge’s scoring prowess has been one of the key reasons for the team’s strong performance this season, and he recently became the first English-born player to score 10 goals in a six-match span in MLS history.
Adding to the team’s depth, Jacob Shaffelburg has rejoined Nashville SC after competing in the Concacaf Gold Cup with the Canadian National team. Meanwhile, Nashville SC’s captain Walker Zimmerman and the USMNT are preparing to face Mexico in the Gold Cup final occurring this Sunday at 6 p.m. CT.
Nashville SC’s continued strong performance is reflected in their impressive 13-match unbeaten streak in all competitions, marking the best start to a season at this point with 38 points and 11 wins. This success has also put Head Coach B.J. Callaghan in the conversation for MLS Coach of the Year.
The team’s contributions are not limited to Surridge, as Nashville SC has recorded the most goal contributions in the league, with Surridge at 19 and teammate Hany Mukhtar at 16. Moreover, goalkeeper Joe Willis has been pivotal in the defense, registering six shutouts this season, which ties him for the third-most shutouts in the league.
As the match approaches, Nashville SC will celebrate Americana Night presented by Hormann, enhancing the matchday experience for fans. Tickets for the event are available for purchase online and through the Nashville SC website.
In addition to the upcoming match, Nashville SC has announced that Season Ticket Memberships for the 2026 season are now on sale, offering various benefits to members as they look to build upon this year’s successes.
The showdown with the Philadelphia Union is not only a chance for Nashville SC to gain the top position in the Eastern Conference but also an opportunity for fans to enjoy an exciting match in a festive atmosphere.
