D.C. United, like the rest of Major League Soccer’s 28 teams, today announced their 2022 regular season schedule. United’s 34-game MLS slate, which starts with a previously announced February 26 home game against expansion side Charlotte FC, includes breaks for the FIFA international window in late March, early June, and late September. The regular season runs through October 9, with MLS Cup scheduled for November 5.
United starts the season off with four straight games against teams that either did not exist last year, or that did not make the playoffs. After two years with virtually no meetings with Western Conference opposition due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Black-and-Red will have eight games against teams from the West, including a first-ever clash with Austin FC.
