[12] [13] In 2020, the Revolution participated in the MLS is Back Tournament, a one-time club tournament for MLS teams held during the 2020 season, which had been disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. [14]

[15] The club holds the record for the most points in a single season, with 73 points in the 2021 season. [16] The Revolution's best season attendance was in 2023, with an average of 23,940 spectators per game. [17] Their worst season of attendance was in 2021, where they had 1,529 spectators per game, [18] although they played 10 home games without spectators due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [19] Their worst season of attendance without COVID-19 restrictions came in 2006, in which an average of 11,786 fans attended each match. [18]
