Colorado Rapids Soccer Club today released their full 2018 MLS regular season schedule (HERE), which includes home games against reigning MLS Cup champions Toronto FC, as well as first-time home matchups against Atlanta United FC and Los Angeles FC.

For the second year in a row, the Rapids will kick-off their regular season campaign against fellow charter club New England Revolution. However, this season, Anthony Hudson’s men will travel to Gillette Stadium to take on the Revolution on Saturday, March 10 (11:30 AM).

Colorado’s 2018 home opener has been rescheduled from March 3 to March 24 due to the club’s participation in the 2018 Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League. Originally slated to take on the Chicago Fire on March 3, the Rapids will now host Sporting Kansas City on Saturday, March 24, with kickoff at DICK’S Sporting Goods Park scheduled for 7:00 PM.

Also of note, the Rapids will continue the tradition of hosting their annual 4thFest contest on Independence Day. For the second consecutive year, Colorado will battle against Seattle Sounders FC on Wednesday, July 4 (7:00 PM). The Rapids have an all-time record of 14-4-3 in July 4 contests.

With expansion side LAFC joining MLS this season, the Rapids will play all Eastern Conference teams once, six at home (PHI, TOR, ORL, NY, CHI, ATL) and five on the road (NE, NYC, MTL, DC, CLB), and all Western Conference twice (home and away) excluding Real Salt Lake. The Rocky Mountain Cup rivals are once again slated to face-off three times in regular season play, once at home and twice on the road.

The Rapids will be featured in two nationally televised matches – with both contests taking place at DICK’S Sporting Goods Park (4/29 vs. ORL and 9/15 vs. ATL). All non-nationally televised games will be aired locally on Altitude TV, as well as over the airwaves on Altitude 950 AM.

With the 2018 FIFA World Cup set to take place this summer in Russia, Major League Soccer will have a league-wide break from June 14-22. In addition to the 34 regular season contests, Colorado will participate in the 2018 CONCACAF Champions League and the 2018 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.
