From the inaugural match at Avaya Stadium to hosting the annual California Clasico at Stanford Stadium, Quakes fans have a lot to look forward to in 2015.

While there's only six home games listed here, every game will be a treat at Avaya Stadium. Single game tickets, except for the matches at Levi's Stadium and Stanford Stadium, go on-sale January 16 at 10 a.m. PT.

March 22 vs. Chicago Fire: The much-anticipated Avaya Stadium christening will mark Dominic Kinnear’s first home game in his Quakes’ return. It will pit longtime MLS rivals who usually produce high-scoring battles. The Fire, coached by ex-Quakes coach Frank Yallop, absorbed a humiliating 5-1 defeat to the Quakes last season at Buck Shaw Stadium. Shea Salinas scored to touch off the Quakes’ scoring explosion. In 2013, Chicago held on for a 3-2 win over the short-handed Quakes, playing without five regular starters. In 2012, Steven Lenhart scored the tying goal in a 1-1 draw in the 98th minute at Buck Shaw, in his return from a four-game injury absence. The dramatic goal seemed fitting with fans wearing blond wigs in Lenhart’s honor. In 2003, the Quakes beat the Fire 4-2 in an entertaining MLS Cup Final, in what remains the highest-scoring league title game. We're expecting the same kind of intensity in the Avaya Stadium inaugural match.

May 24 vs. Orlando City SC: Brazilian star Kaka, Orlando’s first Designated Player, will lead the expansion club to the match at Levi’s Stadium. His immense popularity as a former a player with European giants AC Milan and Real Madrid should produce a large, enthusiastic crowd.

June 27 vs. LA Galaxy: The reigning MLS Cup champion Galaxy, and the Quakes’ top rival, will return for the California Clasico at Stanford Stadium. Expect another 50,000 fans for what has become Northern California’s No. 1 soccer event of the year. The Quakes earned incredible comeback wins over the Galaxy at Stanford in 2013 (3-2) and 2012 (4-3). The 2013 thriller seemed surreal as the Quakes overcame a 2-0 deficit despite playing with 10 men from the 77th minute.

July 10 vs. Houston: Dominic Kinnear will host his former club for the first time. The meeting will have extra meaning this time because the Dynamo has moved to the Western Conference after a four-year stint in the Eastern Conference. Kinnear can only hope the Quakes will equal the feat of their previous meeting with the Dynamo -- a 3-0 Quakes’ win. Chris Wondolowski, gearing up for the World Cup, watched the sweet victory in the stands at Buck Shaw holding his infant daughter, Emersyn. He beamed as a proud papa and a proud teammate.

August 28 vs. LA Galaxy: The California Clasico doesn't need superstars to stoke the rivalry's flames, but Steven Gerrard certainly adds some intrigue. Aug. 28 will mark the first edition of the California Clasico at Avaya Stadium and the inaugural opportunity for Earthquakes fans to see the legend of Liverpool in their own backyard. Of course, his welcome will likely be anything but warm.

Oct. 16 vs. Sporting Kansas City: The Quakes will close the regular season against another Western Conference newbie. In 2013, the Quakes beat K.C. 1-0 on a Chris Wondolowski goal, extending their home winning streak to five. The clubs hold similar homespun philosophies, in marketing and team-building. Similar to Kansas City, the Quakes launched a new identity prior to entering their new home in 2015.
