How to watch today's Nashville SC vs Philadelphia Union MLS game: Live stream, TV channel, and start time

Nashville host Philadelphia Union at Geodis Park on Saturday in a top-of-the-table MLS Eastern Conference showdown between two of MLS’s most in-form teams.

Nashville, currently third with 38 points from 20 matches, are enjoying a remarkable turnaround after last year’s disappointing campaign, now riding a 13-match unbeaten streak across all competitions and unbeaten in their last 11 MLS games.

Philadelphia Union arrive as league leaders, two points ahead of Nashville, despite seeing their own 13-match unbeaten run end last week in a 1-0 loss to Columbus Crew.
