Real Salt Lake travels to Austin FC on Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2026, in the first of two road matches critical to the club's 2026 postseason qualification. The team enters the contest with 11 wins, 14 losses, and 6 draws for 39 points, currently sitting 10th in the West.

The midweek match in Austin follows a 3-0 home victory over St. Louis CITY SC, which marked the club's third win in its last five games and its sixth home clean sheet of 2026. During that match, rookie striker Sergi Solans scored twice, bringing his total to 18 goals across all competitions and 14 in his debut MLS campaign. Solans requires three more goals in his final three regular season games to match the club record of 17 goals set by Arango in 2024 and Saborio in 2012.

The club's upcoming schedule includes a matinee match against the Earthquakes in San Jose on Saturday, Oct. 31, 2026. Real Salt Lake sits just two points behind the ninth-place LA Galaxy for the final Western Wild Card berth. With only three regular season games remaining, the club may need at least two wins to extend a postseason qualification streak that includes eight of the last nine years.

Head Coach Pablo Mastroeni has managed the club through 219 matches since late August 2021, recording 88 wins, 80 losses, and 51 draws. Mastroeni has averaged 1.60 points per game during his tenure. In Saturday's victory over St. Louis, Dominik Marczuk scored, and Morgan Guilavogui recorded two assists, bringing his season totals to four goals and 10 assists.

The club's season will conclude on Decision Day, Nov. 7, 2026, in a home finale against the LA Galaxy. Tickets for all home events remain available via www.RSL.com/Tickets.
