Kickoff is scheduled for Saturday, April 4, at 4:30 PM ET. Although it’s early in the 2026 season, both clubs are currently struggling near the bottom of the Eastern Conference. A victory here could provide the necessary spark to turn their campaigns around. While the Revolution have historically held the advantage in this matchup, Montréal’s attack—led by the in-form Prince Owusu—has the potential to disrupt that trend.
