Last year the league announced on January 3 that the full schedule would be revealed January 7.
This year we've reached January 5 with no pre-announcement. As I remember, on Jan 7 last year the league said in the morning that it would drop at x o'clock, then pushed it back, then some more, and then some more again. It got ridiculous. MLS teams on twitter even trolled us with links to Rick Astley and such.
This year, when they announced the first games on December some brilliant, helpful forum member noted the following:
Combining these 2 facts I put the odds of getting the schedule this week or next at slightly below 50-50.
Like that means anything but that's where I put them anyway.
I mean they have to go somewhere and I try to keep a clean desk.

I believe the rumblings are that it will be announced on the same day as the SuperDraft on the 13th or so.
The day before the MLS SuperDraft. It's also the day of the NWSL Draft.
You forgot good looking.
Or if you want throw back: "You forgot ugly, lazy and disrespectful."
Updating the above. The league press release announcing the home openers included the following paragraph.
During the 2017 MLS regular season, each club will play 34 games, including 17 home games and 17 away games. Teams will face each of their 10 conference opponents twice during the season with one game at home and one game away. Clubs also will compete in select additional games against different conference opponents three times, and they will face each non-conference opponent once.
So, perhaps there really is a way to set up the schedule like this. More likely, I think, is that they are going to do a simple quick fix - like having Atlanta and Minnesota play twice - in order to have the rest of the league fit the arrangement they described.

Or they can decrease the number of clubs we would play 3x's. Last year played 6 clubs 3x's. It would have to be 3 clubs 3x's for 2017
Read again, that's not the issue. The issue is you can't make an odd number of teams (11) play an odd number of games (3) against each other, it just doesn't work out.
