If they actually sign Messi (which I'm not sold on happening, especially before the summer) that will probably be the most attended match in club history
2023 Schedule Thread
- Thread starter LionNYC
- Start date
It's a pretty balanced schedule. The hardest stretch is June 17 vs. Columbus, 21 at Atlanta, 24 at Portland.
West Coast Trips: Houston, Salt Lake, Portland
West Coast Home: Dallas, Minnesota, Vancouver
West Coast Trips: Houston, Salt Lake, Portland
West Coast Home: Dallas, Minnesota, Vancouver
I count just 6 West Conference games, down from 8 last year, and four of them* are repeats of last year, which is not horrific but still kind of weird and pathetic. There should be complete rotation.

Our only home match vs Miami is in March and I can't imagine Messi will leave PSG before the end of the Ligue 1 season, so we will have zero regular season home matches vs. Messi this season.
they also played vancouver last year in week 2.
Nashville in February could be as bad as NYC, with the added benefit of no infrastructure to deal with 4 inches of snow.
You're right I missed one. That's crazy. We play 6 WC games and 4 are repeats. 14 West C games in 2 years but just 10 teams (out of 14/15, depending on how you count Nashville).
I think that depends. My 6-YO loves going to games, and he's not old enough for a lot of games that end at 9:30pm.
Also, night games on a Saturday create a problem when I have to explain to Dr. Mrs. G why we aren't having date night this week (or next week, or the week after that...).
This is too bad. Not too many games starting after sundown, unfortunately.
Could end up being Zlatan all over again.
But I don't think Messi is coming at all.
Pablo Maurer says that previously rumored/reported changes to MLS playoffs are in the works.
ridiculous. its gonna get to a point where its not the best team that wins it but which team is least affected by injuries.
Oh, I know this type of scheduling is great for lots of people, but since MLS is a summer league, sabbath ends most of the year 7:30 or later, which means I'll miss most of the season. If MLS ran through the winter, this wouldn't be an issue at all, with 7:30pm kickoffs. (hence why i can make the home opener and the week after).
That being said, I like the idea of going to more uniform times for kickoffs to make it more consistent, it'll probably be good for the league as a whole.
I wonder if some of the games with TDB kickoff times are ones that might end up on linear TV.
Doesn't look like it -- looks like FOX/FS1 games are already indicated on MLS's website. Looks like only one game on TV for NYCFC this season.
Funny little glitch: The MLS website has the TBD games as Friday instead of Saturday. They're Saturday as per the image NYCFC released, but since the time is TBD, something glitched on the league website.
Trying to figure out what the best game is for the summer 3-day weekend away....
Last year's Montreal game stuck out like a sore thumb. This year's options are to repeat Montreal, Cincy, Philly, or Columbus. Not as exciting!

It’s counterproductive, to me, to have no afternoon starts, but it’s Apple’s league now.
