The 2022 New England Revolution season begins anew today, actually on network TV at 730pm Eastern on big FOX against the Portland Timbers. The defending Shield winners against the defending Western Conference playoff champions and MLS Cup runner-ups.
While the schedule will say it’s the regular season opener for all of Major League Soccer, for the Revs it is more of the first half season opener. That’s because this season is going to be very weird for New England.
Obviously Matt Turner is leaving for Arsenal in the summer, which means the Revs have a few months to either sign or trade for a replacement (Sam Minton named three potential candidates and I don’t think breaking out seven figures of GAM for Dayne St Clair is a bad idea) or training up the group already on the roster so one of Edwards/Knighton/Jackson is ready to step into the net full time.
