Complete Inaugural USL Championship season schedule released
PAWTUCKET, RI – Rhode Island FC will make history and kick off its inaugural USL Championship season on Saturday, March 16 at Bryant University’s Beirne Stadium in Smithfield against New Mexico United. USL released its complete 2024 season schedule earlier today. Rhode Island FC will play 17 home matches during the regular season.
“Our fans can finally start marking their calendar and making plans to see Rhode Island FC in action,” said Rhode Island FC president Brett Luy. “Our team has been busy building a club for all Rhode Island and we’re putting all the pieces together to ensure that our club is competing for trophies from day one. Demand for season tickets remains strong and we encourage fans to act quickly to secure their seats for the home opener and the rest of the inaugural season.”
Notable home matches include an April 27 match against the 2023 USL Championship Finals winners Phoenix Rising FC, an August 10 match against local rival Hartford Athletic, and an August 31 match against Birmingham Legion FC – Rhode Island FC head coach Khano Smith’s former club.
The full schedule is available here.
Last week, Rhode Island FC announced that additional seats would be available at Beirne Stadium due to strong season ticket sales. The only way to guarantee a seat for the home opener on March 16 is to purchase a season ticket plan. The club plans to make flex plans and mini-plans available for purchase in the coming weeks depending upon ticket availability.
