The Cavalry’s coming.

And we know the dates — finally.

Cavalry FC unveiled the entire regular-season soccer schedule Wednesday for the inaugural Canadian Premier League.

Matches begin with the home opener May 4 against York9 FC on the Cavalry FC pitch at Spruce Meadows and run through to the end of the season Oct. 19.

“I’m just excited as both a fan of the game and as a coach to see the schedule,” said Cavalry FC head coach/GM Tommy Wheeldon Jr. “It’s something everybody wanted to know — from where we start to where we finish and everything else in between.”

The league’s first campaign consists of 28 regular-season games — 14 home, 14 away for each of the seven teams — and will be separated into two distinct halves, the spring and fall seasons, and each of those halves will crown winners that will advance to the CPL championship.

The winner of the spring competition will be the club with the most points at the end of the season on July 1 and will be the first club to earn a berth in the championship.
