PREVIEW
After nearly a month away, Phoenix Rising returns to 38th & Washington on Saturday night with more than just three points on the line. In a prime-time clash against rivals New Mexico United, Rising looks to deliver a statement performance in front of its fans.
The last time Rising took the field at Phoenix Rising Stadium, on March 21, it delivered late drama in a 2-2 draw against Oakland Roots FC. Goals from forward Gunnar Studenhofft and midfielder Diego Gómez sparked a comeback that salvaged a point and highlighted the team’s resilience.
Rising holds a 6-4-2 all-time record against United and earned a result in each of the first five meetings between the two teams. The club’s 2-0 defeat against Sacramento Republic FC marked just Rising’s second defeat of the 2026 campaign through seven matches – both coming on the road. Now at home, the club will look to flip the script and secure its first three points of the season in front of its home crowd.
