Columbus Crew SC announced on Thursday, in conjunction with Major League Soccer, that the team will open the 2020 season at home, hosting New York City FC on Sunday, March 1 at MAPFRE Stadium. Kickoff for that game is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. ET. This contest is one of 13 games on opening weekend and five that are set for that Sunday.
The game is the only one on the schedule up to this point as the Crew do not feature in any other team’s home openers. Steve Goff of the Washington Post reports that the league is planning to release the full schedule by the end of the month.
