Team History
As a league charter member, the New England Revolution joined the MLS Schedule for the inaugural season. On June 6, 1995, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft became the founding investor/operator of the Revolution. The early Revolution rosters featured U.S. Men’s National Team stars from the 1994 World Cup.
The Revolution struggled until 2001, reaching its first of many championship game/finals defeats – losing the 2001 U.S. Open Cup in overtime to the Los Angeles Galaxy. The arrival of Steve Nichol brought success to New England. This era of the New England Revolution won most of the franchises’ championships and made three consecutive MLS Cup finals from 2005-2007.
Since Nichol’s departure, the Revolution has reached one MLS Cup final in 2012, losing to the Los Angeles Galaxy again. The Revolution struggled throughout the 2010s until 2021, when the New England Revolution broke regular season records, adding the MLS Supporters Shield to the franchise’s collection.

Historical Events
In the inaugural MLS season, the New England Revolution’s stats were horrible, landing the Revolution at the bottom of the MLS Standings and one of two teams to miss the playoffs in 1996.
Despite struggles to make the playoffs or move past the first round-round in the late-90s and early-2000s, the Revolution made its first championship appearance in the 2001 U.S. Open Cup, losing to the Las Angeles Galaxy in overtime.
The New England Revolution and Gillette Stadium hosted an MLS Cup record 61,316 spectators at the time in 2022. The Revolution lost 1-0 to the Los Angeles Galaxy in the squad’s first MLS Cup finals appearance. The 2002 MLS Season marked the beginning of a run of success for the New England Revolution between late 2001-2009.
In the 2021 MLS season, the New England Revolution’s betting returns were incredible as the squad finished atop the MLS Standings, setting a new single-season MLS points record. The revolution finished the 2021 season with 22 wins, seven draws, and five losses for 73 points. The 2021 MLS Supporters Shield was the New England Revolution’s first MLS championship.
Championship Won by New England Revolution
The New England Revolution has found itself at the top of the MLS Standings and the favorite on MLS Odds throughout its long history.

United, New York City FC, New York Red Bulls, and the Philadelphia Union.
Here is the list of Championships won by the New England Revolution:
2008 North American SuperLiga Champions

What are the New England Revolution 2022-23 Transfers?
Joining the New England Revolution’s roster for 2022-2023 via transfer are Clément Diop (G, from Inter Miami CF), Ismael Tajouri (F, from Los Angeles FC), Christian Makoun (D, from Charlotte FC), Giacomo Vrioni (F, from Juventus Sub 23), and Esmir Bajraktarevic (F, from New England Revolution II).
Two significant pieces of the New England Revolution’s 2021 Supporter’s Shield winning squad have been transferred out for 2022-2023. Goalkeeper Matt Turner joined Arsenal, while forward Adam Buska was transferred to Lens. Midfielder Sebastian Lletget was transferred to FC Dallas, while Arnór Traustason left as a free agent.
Edward Kizza is returning from loan to Memphis 901. Kizza was then sent out on loan to the Pittsburgh Riverhounds. Josmer Altidore is the other Revolution player on loan, currently playing for Puebla of Liga MX.
Who are the Chelsea Best Coaches?
Current Revolution head coach Bruce Arena might eventually become the New England Revolution’s best coach. He’ll need years of continued success at the helm to supplant Steve Nichol as the New England Revolution’s best coach.
Nichol was twice named the New England Revolution’s interim Head Coach before being named the full-time head coach in 2002. The Revolution experienced the most significant run of success in franchise history, with Nichol leading the way. Nichol was the New England Revolution’s head coach during three-consecutive MLS Cup finals appearances and almost all of the Revolution’s championship success.
