Tampa Bay Rowdies News Release


ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - The Tampa Bay Rowdies will kick off the second half of the USL Championship regular season in Kansas City as they pay their first-ever visit to the Swope Park Rangers.

Here are a few of the biggest matches happening in the Eastern Conference this weekend.

Swope Park Rangers vs. Tampa Bay Rowdies

Sunday, 5 p.m. | ESPN+

Swope Park has struggled in its first year in the Eastern Conference but knocked off Saint Louis FC in its last match. The Rangers also proved tricky in the reverse fixture in St. Pete with the Rowdies needing a late penalty to win.

Tampa Bay continues to pace the East following last week's dramatic win over Ottawa Fury FC. The Rowdies are 3-1-1 in their last five matches.

New York Red Bulls II vs. Ottawa Fury FC

Friday, 7 p.m. | ESPN+

New York is in the thick of the fight at the top of the East, just one point out of third heading into the weekend. The Red Bulls are 7-2-1 at home this season.

Ottawa had its 10-game unbeaten run snapped last week in St. Pete but still sits in sixth place. Fury FC would catch the Red Bulls if they can manage to snag a road win.

Louisville City FC vs. Nashville SC

Saturday, 7 p.m. | ESPN+

Louisville has continued to hang around the upper half of the table and currently finds itself in seventh place heading into a tricky home match against Nashville. Louisville is winless in its last three games.

Nashville sits in fifth place despite having four losses already this season (only Louisville has more among current playoff teams). Nashville is coming off a loss in North Carolina last weekend.
