It was already announced last week, that the Hounds would open the season at Birmingham on March 11, and will open its home schedule on Friday, March 24, vs The Miami FC.
On the field, the club is promoting a ‘Summer of Soccer’ with 10 home fixtures in June and July.
The June 3 visit from frequent Western Conference frontrunner Phoenix Rising FC will make its first trip to the Steel City since 2014.
Longtime rival Charleston Battery (June 10) and relative newcomers San Diego Loyal (June 24) keep the action going leading up to a rematch from last season’s playoffs and a shot at payback for the Hounds, a July 1 visit from Louisville City FC.
