The San Jose Earthquakes have returned to the Major League Soccer playoffs for the first time since 2015, the year they opened PayPal Park, according to the SF Standard.

Bruce Arena, in his second year as head coach, guided the team to its first winning season since the stadium's opening, marking a significant turnaround for the club.

The Earthquakes had not hosted a playoff game since 2015, despite some competitive seasons and individual achievements such as Chris Wondolowski breaking the all-time scoring record in 2019.

The 2012 season remains a memorable high point for Bay Area soccer fans, as the Quakes finished with the best MLS record but lost in the conference semifinals. Since then, playoff appearances had eluded the team until now.

This playoff berth signals a renewed competitive phase for the Earthquakes under Arena's leadership, with hopes to build on this success in future seasons.
