In the first game of the 2023 MLS season, first team goalkeeper Eloy Room was left out of the lineup due to visa issues and Schulte earned his first start with the senior team. He didn't play again until March 26 when Room was left out of the lineup once again, this time due to injury. Schulte went on to win the 2023 MLS Cup with the Crew, starting every remaining MLS regular season and playoff game.[18]
Schulte had been the starting goal keeper for Colombus, during their 2024 Champions Cup campaign. After an early mishandling of the ball, leading to an early goal from Tigres UANL, Patrick's redeeming performance had part in the club's historic run to the tournament final.[19]
