Major League Soccer dropped the league’s complete schedule today including FC Dallas game. FCD starts the season April 17th vs the Rapids and ends it on the road against San Jose on November 7th.
With Austin FC joining MLS in 2021, there will be 27 teams in the league with 13 teams in the Western Conference and 14 teams in the Eastern Conference. Austin FC will join the Western Conference, while Nashville SC will stay in the Eastern Conference in 2021.
Schedule Notes
- FCD plays eight regionally focused conference opponents three times and four remaining conference opponents twice.
- Only two games against the Eastern Conference neither against the Chicago Fire. New England Revolution and New York City FC are the two East teams. So pending a US Open Cup meeting of a playoff bout, there will be no Brimstone Cup this year.
- Three matches in June due to the FIFA international window.
- FC Dallas hosts its annual Independence Day match and fireworks show on Sunday, July 4 against Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
- Heineken Rivalry Week against Houston Dynamo FC on August 21 at BBVA Stadium *AND* against Austin FC on August 29th at Q2 Stadium in Austin.
- National Soccer Hall of Fame Induction Weekend match against Minnesota United FC on Saturday, October 2 at 7 PM CT. Willie Nelson will perform postgame.
- FC Dallas will have a break during the October FIFA international window.
- 21 Saturday matches, four on Sunday, and nine-weekday games.
