COMMERCE CITY, Colo. — The Colorado Rapids announced today their schedule for the 2023 Major League Soccer regular season.
The Burgundy Boys will kick off their 28th MLS campaign on Sunday, Feb. 26, with a trip Lumen Field to take on Seattle Sounders FC (6 p.m. MT; FS1, Fox Deportes, Apple TV) before returning to Colorado to host Sporting Kansas City in their home opener at DICK’S Sporting Goods Park on Saturday, March 4 (7:30 p.m. MT; Apple TV).
Colorado will play 34 regular season matches in 2023—17 at home and 17 on the road—along with taking part in the inaugural Leagues Cup, a midseason competition that will pit the Rapids and all MLS clubs against all of Mexico’s Liga MX teams in a month-long, World Cup-style tournament from July 21 to August 19.
