Taylor Twellman is the Revolution's all-time leading scorer with 101 league goals.[1]

The New England Revolution is a soccer team based in Foxborough, Massachusetts,[2] that competes in Major League Soccer (MLS), the first-division league in the United States.[3] The club began play in 1996 as one of ten original MLS teams.[4] The MLS regular season typically runs from February to October and the best-performing team is awarded the Supporters' Shield. The top teams from each conference qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs, a postseason tournament that culminates in the MLS Cup.[5][6]

In addition to league play, the Revolution have usually competed in the annual U.S. Open Cup tournament organized by the United States Soccer Federation. In 2023, they competed in the Leagues Cup, which was contested by teams from MLS and Liga MX of Mexico.[5][7] The league and cup tournaments serve as qualifiers for the following year's CONCACAF Champions Cup (formerly the CONCACAF Champions League), an annual international competition between league and cup champions in North America, Central America, and the Caribbean.[8][9] The CONCACAF Champions Cup winner then qualifies for the next FIFA Club World Cup, which is held annually but will switch to every four years beginning in 2025.[10][11]

The Revolution also participated in the North American SuperLiga, a former competition between MLS and Liga MX teams that was held from 2007 to 2010.[12] The Revolution qualified in 2008 as the runners up in the 2007 MLS Cup,[13] and qualified in 2009 and 2010 as one of the four MLS teams with the best regular-season record out of teams not already qualified for the CONCACAF Champions Cup.[14][15] In 2020, the Revolution participated in the MLS is Back Tournament, a one-time club tournament for MLS teams held during the 2020 season, which had been disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.[16]

As of the end of the 2023 season, the club has played 28 seasons in MLS with 339 wins, 353 losses, and 198 draws over 890 games.[17] The club set the record for the most points in a single season with 73 points in the 2021 season,[18] which they still hold as of the end of the 2023 season.[19] The Revolution's best season attendance was in 2023, with an average of 23,940 spectators per game.[20] Their worst season of attendance was in 2020, where they had 1,529 spectators per game,[21] although they played 10 home games without spectators due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[22] As of the end of the 2023 season, their worst season of attendance without COVID-19 restrictions came in 2006, in which an average of 11,786 fans attended each match.[21]
