Background

The 2023 season was the Revolution's 28th season of existence, and their 28th season in MLS, the top tier of American soccer. The season began on February 25 when the club began their play in the 2023 Major League Soccer season, and the season concluded on October 21. The Revolution finished the year 15–9–10 (55 points) leaving them 5th in the Eastern Conference. They lost to Philadelphia Union in the first round of the 2023 MLS Cup Playoffs. In the 2023 U.S. Open Cup the Revs entered in the Third Round, defeating Hartford Athletic 2–1, before bowing out in the Round of 32 to Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC. The season was marred by the mid-season suspension,[1] and later resignation,[2] of head coach Bruce Arena. On December 19, 2023, the team announced that it had hired Caleb Porter to be the next head coach.[3]

Summary

Pre-season

The Revolution opened their 2024 preseason on January 13 with entrance physicals for players in Foxborough.[4] The first week was spent training in Massachusetts, before the team departed to IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida for a four-week training camp.[4] The Revolution announced five friendly matches against four different MLS opponents leading up to their CONCACAF Champions Cup opener.[4] Their first match was a 3-0 loss to the New York Red Bulls.[5]

U.S. Open Cup

The New England Revolution will participate in the U.S. Open Cup. On December 15, 2023, Major League Soccer announced that its teams would not participate in the 2024 edition of the U.S. Open Cup due to fixture congestion. This would have been the first year since its inception that MLS teams would not participate in the tournament.[12] The league intended to send reserve teams from MLS Next Pro instead, but the request was denied by the United States Soccer Federation on December 20.[13]
