Major League Soccer on Thursday announced the opening home games for all 26 clubs in 2020, with the new season set to kick off on February 29. In Week 1 alone there are some blockbuster matchups to whet the appetite.
Sure to grab plenty of attention, one of two new teams to enter the league in 2020, Inter Miami CF, will begin life in MLS with a visit to the dominant 2019 Supporters’ Shield winners LAFC. On opening day, the other new expansion team, Nashville SC, will take on 2018 MLS Cup champions Atlanta United at Nissan Stadium in the first installment of what could become the next great MLS rivalry. That opening day will also see Tab Ramos begin his MLS coaching career when his Houston Dynamo team host the LA Galaxy.
That’s not all Week 1 has to offer. Defending MLS Cup champions Seattle Sounders will begin the new season by taking on a Chicago Fire FC team fresh from a transformative offseason that has seen a change of ownership, badge and home stadium. Chicago’s return to downtown at Soldier Field will happen just a few weeks later when they take on Atlanta on March 21.
There is plenty to look forward to in between, including Miami christening its new stadium in Fort Lauderdale with the visit of co-owner David Beckham’s former team, LA Galaxy, on March 14.

Major League Soccer anunció el jueves la apertura de los juegos en casa para los 26 clubes en 2020, y la nueva temporada comenzará el 29 de febrero. Solo en la semana 1 hay algunos enfrentamientos exitosos para abrir el apetito.
Seguro que atraerá mucha atención, uno de los dos nuevos equipos que ingresarán a la liga en 2020, el Inter Miami CF, comenzará su vida en la MLS con una visita a los ganadores dominantes del Supporters ‘Shield 2019 LAFC. El día de la inauguración, el otro nuevo equipo de expansión, Nashville SC, se enfrentará a los campeones de la Copa MLS 2018 Atlanta United en el Nissan Stadium en la primera entrega de lo que podría convertirse en la próxima gran rivalidad de la MLS. Ese día de apertura también verá a Tab Ramos comenzar su carrera como entrenador de la MLS cuando su equipo de Houston Dynamo reciba al LA Galaxy.
Eso no es todo lo que la Semana 1 tiene para ofrecer. Los campeones defensores de la Copa MLS Seattle Sounders comenzarán la nueva temporada enfrentándose a un equipo de Chicago Fire FC recién salido de una temporada baja transformadora que ha visto un cambio de titularidad, insignia y estadio local. El regreso de Chicago al centro de Soldier Field ocurrirá solo unas semanas después cuando se enfrenten a Atlanta el 21 de marzo.
Hay mucho que esperar en el medio, incluido Miami bautizando su nuevo estadio en Fort Lauderdale con la visita del ex equipo del copropietario David Beckham, LA Galaxy, el 14 de marzo.
