DC United Fixture List

After the fixture list was announced for the 25th season of MLS, I’ve taken the time to have a read through and form some opinions on it. Our 1st home game is against Colorado Rapids on the 29th Feb, 6pm GMT, and our 1st road game is against FC Cincinnati on March 14th, 9:30pm GMT.

Our 1st, I would say tricky, run of fixtures, especially for travel is the run of being on the road against San Jose Earthquakes on the 11th April, then back to Audi on 15/16th April and then travel to Nashville on 18/19th April. We then have another tricky run in May when we go to New Jersey, then onto LA and back to DC, all in the space of the last week of the month.

Looking at it overall though, there isn’t any crazy runs of 10 games in 27 days or anything daft like that. The schedule is very well spaced out and I’m over the moon with that. If DC are to be successful though, we need to be on a good run of form going into the final stretch as we take on LAFC & NYCFC on the road and the home to ATL for the final game of the season.

This could be a very good season looking at it, obviously we’ve got to navigate the US Open Cup and the Leagues Cup. Hopefully they won’t have too much of an effect on our season. Below is the full fixture list:
