The 2000 D.C. United season marked the first time in club history that the franchise failed to not only reach the MLS Cup final, but failed to make the MLS Cup Playoffs altogether. Throughout the club's fifth ever campaign, United posted a losing record of eight wins, eighteen losses and six ties; earning the eleventh best record in the twelve-team league. Despite the poor performance, Dutch manager, Thomas Rongen, remained at the helm of the club coaching staff.
