At the conclusion of the regular season, the top-eight teams from both the Eastern and Western conferences qualified for the playoffs. Higher-seeded clubs have priority to host, putting the first-place boys in purple in line to play at Lynn Family Stadium throughout the postseason should they continue advancing.
“Our players worked hard all season for the right to a home playoff game, and now it’s up to us to make the most of it,” said club president James O’Connor. “If you look at some of the biggest crowds we’ve had this year, it’s clear this team feeds off the energy of a packed Lynn Family Stadium. There’s nothing guaranteed in the playoffs — that’s what makes them special — so let’s get behind the lads with a strong home-field advantage from the start.”
The Theme
LouCity’s embracing a “Driven” mentality during the USL Championship Playoffs. The club’s digital and in-stadium presentation will take on a new look and feel as the top-seeded boys in purple push to add a third star over the crest.
This playoff campaign reflects the 2025 squad’s energy, grit and aggression paired with muscle car imagery. LouCity also partnered with local rapper Shloob, who pulled up to the studio and recorded a new track — “LouDriven” — to serve as a playoff anthem for the club.
Like a roaring engine, LouCity turned heads throughout the 2025 season. The club won a second-consecutive Players’ Shield title in honor of the league’s regular season champion. Coach Danny Cruz’s side has operated like a well-oiled machine on both sides of the ball, ranking second in the league in scoring (56 goals) and first in defense (19 goals allowed).
LouCity’s looking to add to a decorated playoffs history that includes consecutive league titles in 2017 and 2018, plus Eastern Conference crowns in 2019 and 2022. With that silverware already in the trophy case, the boys in purple are pushing the pedal to the metal in search of more glory.
