In their first season under head coach Bradley Carnell, Philadelphia are four points ahead with two games remaining (63 points; 19W-7L-6D). The club also won the Shield in 2020.

Each year, the Supporters' Shield is awarded to the team with the most regular-season points. The Shield winner also gets hosting priority for MLS Cup presented by Audi on Dec. 6.
