Tomorrow Minnesota United's first team is headed out to San Jose to face the Earthquakes while the second team jets off to Texas for a match against North Texas SC. MNUFC will face a club who have struggled just as the Loons have, but sit higher in the standings due to an astounding start to the 2026 season.
MNUFC2 (10th in West) on the other hand face a team in North Texas SC (9th in the West) who are also scrapping to get into the playoffs. For the Twoons it is a must win game if they aim to repeat their playoff run of 2025.
