HARRISON, N.J. — The Red Bulls’ home schedule includes a rematch of the MLS Eastern Conference Championship against Atlanta United FC May 19, and the renewal of the Hudson River Derby on July 14.
The Major League Soccer schedule was unveiled Monday.After facing Club Atletico Pantoja in a home-and-home series in the Concacaf Champions League Round of 16 series Feb. 20 and 27, the Red Bulls will travel to Columbus to open the season against Crew SC March 2.
The Red Bulls will have a Week 2 bye before opening the 10th season of soccer at Red Bull Arena against San Jose March 16.
New York will be on national television 13 times in the U.S., and an additional five times in Canada. Additional details for the Red Bulls local TV broadcasts will be announced at a later date.
The Red Bulls are never on the road for more than two consecutive games, with trips to Kansas City and New England in April, Toronto and Orlando alongside Houston and Atlanta in July, D.C. United and NYCFC in August, and a Pacific Northwest swing with Seattle and Portland in September.
The longest homestand of the season is three games, when the Red Bulls host FC Cincinnati, the LA Galaxy and Montreal Impact from late April into May.
In addition to hosting New York City FC July 14, the Red Bulls will return to Yankee Stadium Aug. 24. With FC Cincinnati joining as Major League Soccer’s 24th team, no opponents will meet three times in the regular season.
The Red Bulls will make their first visit to LAFC’s Banc of California Stadium Aug. 11, but will wait to visit Minnesota United’s Alianza Arena, as the Loons visit RBA on April 6. New York will make its first MLS trip to Cincinnati Sunday, May 26.
The Red Bulls close out the regular season at Montreal Oct. 6. Prior to that, the Red Bulls play two of the final three games at home, hosting Philadelphia (Sept 22) and D.C. United (Sept 29) to close out the home portion of the schedule.
