Detroit City FC has date and opponent for home playoff matchup
Detroit City FC's home USL playoffs match now has a date and opponent.
Detroit City FC has set the date for their home playoff match in the USL. The team will face off against Hartford Athletic on October 30 at 8 p.m. at Keyworth Stadium in Hamtramck. This will be only the second home playoff game in DCFC's history. The club currently holds the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference following a 14-9-7 regular season record.
Their previous match against Louisville City FC ended in a scoreless draw. The matchup against Hartford is expected to be a challenging one, given DCFC's 2-1 loss on May 9 and a 1-1 draw on September 5. The USL playoffs consist of 16 teams, with eight from each conference, competing in a single-elimination tournament to crown a champion.
DCFC has suffered two Round 1 exits and two quarterfinal exits in their USL playoff history, including a shocking 1-0 upset over top-seeded Louisville City FC in the 2025 playoffs before falling in the quarterfinals to Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC.
