The league all-but disallowed day games during the heat of the summer, so the only change is no more day games in March, April, and September. I personally prefer night games -- especially in the summer.

Well, there are 5 games that have "TBD" as the time.
For the first game, FOX has a game on that Saturday. For the other 4 games, they do not. The second one is on a FIFA International Break, so there are only 6 games. The last one is Decision Day, and the MLS site actually has us playing at 7:30, so who knows.
That said, all the other games on those weekends show the usual Saturday Night starting time, and I couldn't find any other teams hosting any games with a TBD time (or that weird Friday night time). So, it looks like it's probably a baseball issue.
Yeah, I really wanted to do Montreal last year, but it didn't come together. Maybe this year.
Atlanta looked good for this summer, but then I saw that it's a Wednesday game.
Agreed. Even NBA & NHL (which i consider night leagues) understand the importance of some afternoon games on the weekends. Speaking of which, I want MLS to figure out an equivalent to NHL Outdoor Game, NBA Christmas Day Games, NFL International Games., MLB Field of Dreams Game. I’m not sure what that is though, but it should be on July 4th. Maybe a match in Manaus
Ah, yeah don't be sorry, I don't really mind. However that's really not such a big deal in the grand scheme of fans around the country since we're talking about a problem that affects a really small small percentage of people that watch MLS. They can't cater to everyone.

I was just looking at that Sept. 23 game -- Did Citi Field book a concert for that weekend? The Mets are on the road, and not back until Tuesday. Unless there's another event there that day, there's no reason Citi wouldn't be available.
As expected, taking a month off midseason for the Leagues Cup means playing during international breaks. NYCFC has six games during the breaks, as below.
There's also a couple that fall within a day and we're seen players return late sometimes, mostly I believe from CONMEBOL.
| 2023 International Break Dates | Games During |
| March 20-28 | 1 |
| June 12-20 | 1 |
| June 26-July 16 | 4 |
| Sep 4-12 | 0 |
| Oct 9-17 | 0 |
| Nov 13-21 | 0? - Playoffs |
| Total | 6 |

Both true. And there is a middle way. A couple of games each week at an earlier time, which are rotated around the various teams. NFL is consistently at 1pm and 4:15pm ET. But there are a few games at night on Thursdays, Sundays and Mondays, and everyone knows to look for those too.
The Rolling Loud Festival was held that weekend in 2022. So it’s probably going to be there in 2023. They use the parking lots, so it would still mean the venue is unavailable.
Agreed that the complete uniformity of days and start times is not ideal. Everyone points to the CFB and NFL as models, but they both have multiple game time slots on their respective days. For the NFL it's Sundays at 1pm, 4pm, and 8;20pm then Monday night and Thursday night.
I still miss the Univision Friday Night Futbol from 2015-16 (roughly). Even with those terrible announcers, and even though it was not usually a marquee matchup, it was nice knowing that every Friday night there was a national MLS game to watch. Uniform predicable game times does not need every game on the same day at the same 2 times (7:30pm Eastern or Pacific), one of which is close to useless for 50% of the population. We don't even have a game every Wednesday. They're just shoving games into occasional Wednesdays because there are not enough Saturdays. So predictability is non-existent. Is there a game any given Wednesday? Don't know until you check the schedule. Make it Wednesday Night Soccerin' Time.

They usually run a bus in its place when that happens.

Add M or R.
Combined: E, F. M, N, R or W.
Also F only connects to the 7 at Roosevelt Avenue, which Express 7 trains skip.
Isn't there also a LIRR train that stops out there?
Yes, but only the Port Washington branch.
