Revolution to Host Atlanta United in Independence Day Showdown

Historic rivalry, special kit, and community initiatives highlight July 2026 clash at Gillette Stadium

On July 25, 2026, the New England Revolution will welcome Atlanta United FC to Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, with kickoff scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Eastern Time and gates opening at 6:30 p.m.

A Historic Rivalry Renewed

The Revolution have dominated the recent head‑to‑head, winning each of their last four encounters against Atlanta United, a streak that adds extra intrigue to the upcoming clash.

Atlanta United’s offensive output this season has been the league’s weakest, as they continue to struggle to find the back of the net with the fewest goals scored among all teams.

Independence Day Kit and Artistic Tribute

To commemorate the occasion, the Revolution will wear a special “Independence Day” kit that pays tribute to 250 years of American independence and the rich history of New England, while players will sport custom cleats designed by local artist Eamon White; these unique shoes will be auctioned after the match, with proceeds benefiting The Boston Foundation.

The evening will culminate with a fireworks display at Gillette Stadium, adding a festive backdrop to the competitive fixture.

Community Outreach and Global Impact

Beyond the spectacle, the Revolution will launch a drive to collect gently used soccer equipment, supporting the Second Half Sport Foundation and extending assistance to soccer communities in Trinidad & Tobago.
