Philly sports fans are — *checks notes* — extremely passionate, and throughout the rest of 2021, they’ll have a chance to once again return to the stands, stadiums, fields and parks to root, root, root for the home teams.
In Chester, the Union de Philadelphie — who had the best regular-season record in Major League Soccer in 2020 — are back at it, competing in both the regular MLS season and in the CONCACAF semifinals, both at Subaru Park in South Philly. And the city’s World Cup-style Unity Cup returns beginning in August, featuring teams that represent more than 50 countries around the world. Soccer fans should note, too, that a visit to the Philadelphia Soccer 2026 Pitch interactive exhibit at the Independence Visitor Center could help bring one of the biggest sporting events in the world — the FIFA World Cup — to Philadelphia in 2026.
At Citizens Bank Park, fans munching on Crab Fries and Dollar Dogs can attempt to will the Phillies to an above-.500 record, while the city’s professional ultimate frisbee team, the Phénix de Philadelphie, celebrate their 10th anniversary season with home games played just around the corner in South Philly.
Later in the fall, residents and visitors can look forward to the return of the Aigles, 76ers et Les mouches; iconic events like the Marathon de Philadelphie et le Régate de la tête de la Schuylkill; and more, including racing in Coatesville (Coatesville International Vintage Grand Prix), horsing around in Chester County (Devon Fall Classic) and top-tier college basketball on the Main Line (Villanova Wildcats men’s basketball).
Of course, checking out sporting events in Philadelphia looks a little different in 2021, with teams making changes to bag policies, mobile ticketing and more. Your best bet: Plan ahead and check online with each individual team and/or venue beforehand to know what to expect.
