# Cincinnati vs D.C. United: a September fixture with open result contracts A historical scheduled date and an open quote call for a result check, not a new pre-match forecast. Canonical article: https://www.homeincomelab.com/stories/mls-fcc-dcu-2026-09-05 Publisher: The Outlook By: [The Outlook editorial desk](https://www.homeincomelab.com/editorial) Category: Sports Analysis as of: 2026-10-04T10:30:51.735578Z Decision guide market prices observed: 2026-10-04T09:57:48.323Z Published: 2026-10-04T10:30:51.735578Z ## Quick answer FC Cincinnati’s Yes price was 56% in our October 4 data for the fixture originally dated September 5. D.C. United’s match centre confirms that original date and a 7:30 p.m. start. This explainer does not independently verify the final score.

A price still present after the original date is a market-status observation, not evidence that the game remains in the future or that its result is unknown to everyone. - A verified Cincinnati regulation-time win would support Yes. The useful evidence is a final match record identifying this exact fixture, rather than a pre-match club article or a similarly named later meeting. - A draw or D.C. United win would support No. If the fixture was postponed, the contract waits for completion; if permanently cancelled with no makeup, Cincinnati’s Yes contract resolves No. [1](https://polymarket.com/event/mls-fcc-dcu-2026-09-05) ## The comparison behind the headline FC Cincinnati’s Yes price was 56% in our October 4 data for the fixture originally dated September 5.
