MLS released the 2026 regular season schedule earlier than usual. What should fans know about NYCFC and the upcoming campaign?
Normally, Major League Soccer releases the upcoming season schedules in December. As such, fans of New York City FC and other teams often patiently wait for the release a few weeks after the MLS Cup Championship for the schedules to come out. However, this year, MLS shocked everyone and released the 2026 regular season schedules on November 20, 2025, about one month earlier compared to the last few years.
