The Portland Thorns have released their full 2017 NWSL regular season schedule.

The Thorns will play 24 games in 2017, opening the season at home with a match against the Orlando Pride at Providence Park on April 15. The game will be the first-ever Lifetime game of the week.

Similar to past years, the Thorns will play an unbalanced schedule in 2017, facing six of the league's 10 team three times, while facing the North Carolina Courage, Orlando Pride and Sky Blue FC just twice each.

The Thorns will host rival Seattle Reign once in 2017 on May 6, before traveling to Seattle on both July 1 and August 26.

The NWSL will take weekends off during the season to observe international FIFA dates on June 10-11, July 29-30 and Sept. 16-17.

The Thorns will open preseason training camp on March 13.

Single-game tickets for the 2017 season will be open to the public starting March 15 at 10 a.m. Tickets can be purchased online at thornsfc.com, at the Providence Park box office or by calling (888) 736-6849.
