The Boys in Gold will play home-and-away contests against each member of the Eastern Conference. You can see mini-previews of those teams here and here. They will also face four teams another time. Those are FC Cincinnati (two home, one away), Atlanta United 2 (two home, one away), Louisville City FC (one home, two away), and Charlotte Independence (one home, two away).
The only long road trip is three roadies (not to be confused with The Roadies) from April 14-May 6, with games in Indianapolis, Bethlehem, Pa., and New York. Long home-stand is four games June 16-July 7, most of them crackers: North Carolina FC, Indy Eleven, Atlanta United 2, and FC Cincinnati. While ATL UTD 2 isn’t expected to win a ton of games, there’s still bound to be lots of talent on the roster, while FC Cincinnati is likely the favorite in the East, while NCFC and Indy are a little more unknown, coming from NASL.
