Game Central
Presented by Allianz
The Loons have officially ended their losing streak but are still in search of their first win since early June. Their next opportunity to turn things around and get back to winning ways will be this Wednesday against D.C. United at Allianz Field. While the other United has secured seven fewer points and sits in 12th place in the Eastern Conference, they're not a team to be written off. In their most recent match, D.C. secured their first win in 11 games, and they're sure to come in swinging to ensure that their positive momentum continues. It also doesn't hurt to have the league's second-highest scorer on your squad, as Christian Benteke's 14 goals in 2024 have been the brightest spot in their season thus far. The Loons will need to shut down the super striker and be a bit more productive up top to end Wednesday night with the sweet sound of Wonderwall at Allianz Field. To catch all of the action in person, purchase your ticket now at SeatGeek.com. Can't make it to the Midway? No problem; there are plenty of ways to watch. Join your fellow faithful fans at a Loons Watch Spot for food, drinks, and a fun football experience. Stream the game with Apple TV's MLS Season Pass or listen in on 1500 ESPN.
