It's official. The 2016 MLS schedule is now available. Four of the first five games are at home -- against Toronto, Orlando, New England, and Chicago. Just like last year, the Blues will be on national TV plenty of times, with FOX, ESPN, and Univision broadcasting their games against the rest of MLS.
Here are the games you should circle on the calendar.
Hudson River Shootout
Like last season, New York City will square off against the Red Bulls three times. They play on May 21, July 3, and July 24. The first two of these games will be at Yankee Stadium; the rubber will be at Red Bull Arena.
