United begins its 20th regular season campaign on Saturday, March 7, against the Montreal Impact at RFK Stadium. United will play a 34-game schedule that includes 17 home games and 17 road matches, with 24 contests against Eastern Conference opposition. The Black-and-Red will be featured 10 times on national television, including six appearances in the Sunday doubleheader on ESPN and FOX Sports and three as part of the Univision Deportes game of the week.

United's schedule features compelling match-ups throughout the year, starting with four of its first five games against Eastern Conference opponents, including a nationally televised clash with rival New York Red Bulls on the road on March 22 and a showdown with defending MLS Cup champion Los Angeles Galaxy at home on March 28. The Black-and-Red will face Orlando City FC for the first time on the road on Apr. 3 in a game broadcast by Univision and again in Florida on June 14, while welcoming the expansion side for its RFK Stadium debut on May 13.
