Playoff Positioning on the Line
As the 2025 MLS regular season winds down, FC Cincinnati finds itself in a crucial position in the playoff race. With Decision Day looming, FCC is jockeying for position and hoping to secure a spot in the MLS Cup Playoffs for the fourth consecutive year.
Colorado Rapids' recent results have kept FCC's playoff hopes alive, but the team will need to take care of business against the high-flying LAFC squad on the final day. A win, coupled with specific results elsewhere, would be enough to punch FCC's ticket to the postseason.
Preparing for the Playoffs
In anticipation of the playoffs, FC Cincinnati is hosting a special Playoffs Launch Party at MadTree Parks & Rec in Blue Ash on October 22. The public event will feature special guests, DJs, activities, giveaways, and more as the club celebrates its fourth straight trip to the MLS Cup Playoffs and 10 years of FCC history.
Meanwhile, FCC's MLS NEXT Pro affiliate, FC Cincinnati 2, is also gearing up for the postseason. They will host the Philadelphia Union II in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals on October 19 at Subaru Park. Union II have been a consistent playoff team since the MLS NEXT Pro league's inaugural season in 2022.
