New England Revolution Bolster Defense with Tanner Beason Signing Amid Roster Revamp
  • These roster changes come after a disappointing 2024 season for the Revolution, who finished 14th in the Eastern Conference, allowing 74 goals—the third-most in league history.

  • The Revolution will kick off their 30th MLS season on February 22, 2025, against Nashville SC, with season memberships and multi-game plans currently available for purchase.

  • On December 20, 2024, the New England Revolution announced the signing of defender Tanner Beason to a two-year contract that runs through the 2026 Major League Soccer (MLS) season, with an option for 2027.

  • Beason, 27, joins the Revolution after five seasons with the San Jose Earthquakes, where he made 121 appearances and contributed two assists.

  • Before entering the MLS, Beason had a distinguished college career at Stanford University, winning three NCAA National Championships and earning accolades such as First Team All-American and PAC-12 Player of the Year.

  • Selected 12th overall in the 2020 MLS SuperDraft, Beason has accumulated over 8,000 regular season minutes since his debut.

  • In the 2024 season, he started 17 out of 26 league matches and participated in three Leagues Cup matches and two Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup matches.

  • Beason set personal bests in 2022 with 28 appearances and 25 starts, maintaining discipline with only 25 fouls and six cautions over his five seasons.

  • Revolution Sporting Director Curt Onalfo praised Beason as a seasoned MLS starter who will enhance the team's defense, a sentiment echoed by Head Coach Caleb Porter.

  • Beason is the third center-back acquired by the Revolution during the winter transfer window, following Brayan Ceballos and Mamadou Fofana.
