The schedule announcement came early for next season
Harrison, NJ – On Thursday, November 20th, the New York Red Bulls quickly announced their 2026 Regular-Season Schedule as they prepare for a brand-new season at Sports Illustrated Stadium. There will be some quirkiness to the new schedule, as we all know that there will be a long stoppage for a certain event that will be held in the country around June and July.
Starting on the road, then a Sunday afternoon at home
The Red Bulls will begin the season in Central Florida on February 21st when they travel to face Orlando City at Inter&Co Stadium in Downtown Orlando, then the next weekend, they host their home opener on a Sunday afternoon, February 28th, at 2:30 PM. They will play eight straight Eastern Conference teams until FC Dallas comes over on Saturday, May 2nd.
World Cup break
After playing their first 15 gams of the current schedule, their last one will be away at Sporting Kansas City on May 23rd, and then all of MLS will take a break to get ready for the FIFA World Cup that will be played in the United States, Canada, and Mexico for over a month and a half.
Remaining games
The remaining 19 games will start at the end of July till the beginning of November for the first time. They will also take a week break in August between the matches at home against Orlando City on August 1st and return to the action in Atlanta against Atlanta United on August 15th. Decision Day will be on Saturday, November 7th.
The final season of this version of the schedule
This will be the final season where the league begins in late February and plays until October, until the playoffs in November and the MLS Cup Final in December. At the start of the 2027 season, it will be a short sprint season, then a summer break, and then the move to the International Calendar from Summer to Spring.
Let’s hope they will have a successful new season and turn the page from what was a horrible 2025 MLS season.
