As usual under the MLS scheduling format, each club will still play teams in its own conference two or three times and face teams in the other conference just once. The addition of LAFC to the Western Conference means that each team in the West will play just one conference opponent three times. Teams in the East will play two conference opponents three times.
In addition, RSL meets the rival L.A. Galaxy on June 9 (in L.A.) and Sept. 1 at Rio Tinto, and the Colorado Rapids on April 21 (at home), July 21 (home) and Aug. 25 (in Colorado).
