Galaxy to open MLS season at home against D.C. United
Robbie Keane, center, and the Galaxy will open the MLS campaign at home against D.C. United on March 6. He’s flanked by Gyasi Zardes and Steven Gerrard.
The Galaxy’s 34-game Major League Soccer schedule will include a April home date with the league-champion Portland Timbers, a July 4th home game with the Vancouver Whitecaps and visits by the Columbus Crew, D.C. United, New England Revolution, New York Red Bulls and Orlando City.
The Galaxy will meet each of its nine Western Conference rivals at least twice, with at least one of those games being played at StubHub Center. The Galaxy will also play the 10 Eastern Conference teams once.
Half the Galaxy’s schedule will be broadcast on at least one of the MLS’ national TV partners -- ESPN, Fox Sports and Univision.
The Galaxy will open the season March 6 at StubHub Center against D.C. United. That will be one of eight Sunday dates on the home schedule. There are also five games scheduled on Saturdays and one game each on a Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
MLS will take a two-week break in early June during group play of the Copa America, which is being played in the U.S. for the first time this year.
