MLS Colorado Rapids

Five Regular-Season Matchups You Won't Want to Miss in 2023 

December 23, 2022 - Major League Soccer (MLS)
Colorado Rapids News Release


Seattle Sounders | February 26

The Burgundy Boys will begin the 2023 season in the pacific northwest, home of Seattle Sounders. The February 26 matchup will pit the Rapids against the 2022 CCL champions on their home turf in a contest Colorado fans won't want to miss. Last year's game at Lumen Field left Seattle seeing red, but Colorado without any points after a later-rebuked free kick call led to the Sounders' game-winner. The Rapids will be out for redemption in February, and will need all of Colorado behind them to start the season strong.

Sporting Kansas City | March 4

Who doesn't love an I-70 rivalry matchup to kickstart the home campaign? Colorado welcomes Sporting Kansas City on March 4 to bring the Rapids faithful back to the stands of DICK'S Sporting Goods Park.

Prepare for the chilly temperatures with our 2023 Holiday Pack, complete with a Rapids beanie and ticket to the home opener.

It all comes down to Decision Day on October 21 when RSL returns to altitude for a final showdown no Rapids fan will want to miss.
