Houston Dynamo FC News Release


HOUSTON - The Houston Dynamo and Major League Soccer today announced the full 34-game regular-season schedule for the club's 15th season.

The 17-game home slate is highlighted by visits from each of MLS' newest clubs, Inter Miami CF on Saturday, April 11 and Nashville SC on Saturday, May 23. Other highlights include fierce rivalry matches against the LA Galaxy on Opening Day presented by BBVA, FC Dallas on Thursday, Aug. 20, and Sporting Kansas City on Sunday, Sept. 27. Houston will also host a trio of trophy-winning clubs from a year ago as they welcome the reigning MLS Cup Champion Seattle Sounders FC on Saturday, March 14, Supporters Shield winners Los Angeles FC on Wednesday, Sept. 16 and Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup champion Atlanta United FC on Saturday, June 13.

The Dynamo will kick off the 2020 season fueled by 76© when they host the Galaxy at BBVA Stadium for Opening Day presented by BBVA at 2:30 p.m. CT on Saturday, Feb. 29. Houston and LA most recently met on Decision Day 2019, when the Dynamo stormed back from an early goal to defeat the Galaxy 4-2 at BBVA Stadium. Houston and LA have a long and colorful history, including two meetings in the MLS Cup Final.

The Dynamo will host a number of the biggest names in MLS during their 15th season in the league, including 2017 MLS Most Valuable Player Diego Valeri and the Portland Timbers on Saturday, April 4, legendary coach Bruce Arena and the New England Revolution on Friday, July 3; reigning MLS Most Valuable Player Carlos Vela and Los Angeles Football Club on Wednesday, Aug. 16; and the regular-season home finale against Mexican star Alan Pulido and Sporting Kansas City on Sunday, Sept. 27.

The surest way for fans to guarantee access to the best seats is by becoming a Houston Dynamo 365 Member. Dynamo 365 Members receive exclusive benefits, Members-only loyalty pricing, gifts, and year-round experiences and events. Annual memberships start as low as $30 per month.

Six- and 10-match plans are also available, guaranteeing fans prime seating locations and preferred pricing. Both plans include Opening Day presented by BBVA. Six-match plans start at $120 and will include the best and most desirable matchups, while 10-match plans provide fans their choice of any nine home matches the remainder of the season starting at $170 per seat.

Individual-match tickets for all home matches will go on sale Wednesday, Jan. 22 at 10 a.m. CST. Dynamo 365 Members will have exclusive access to a pre-sale opportunity to purchase additional seats to individual matches of their choice before tickets go on sale to the general public.

Houston's road schedule features the club's first trip to Tennessee to face Nashville SC, trips to Dallas, Kansas City and Los Angeles (twice) and two visits to Canada. The road slate kicks off with a trip to the Midwest in Week 2 as they face Sporting Kansas City at Children's Mercy Park on Saturday, March 7.

Houston's first trip to Nashville will occur on Wednesday, Aug. 5 when they take on Nashville SC at Nissan Stadium. The Dynamo will head north of the border to face the Montreal Impact on Saturday, April 18 and will play at Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Saturday, Sept. 19.

The Dynamo are scheduled to play six nationally-televised matches in 2020, including Saturday, Feb. 29 against the LA Galaxy on Univision; Saturday, April 11 against Inter Miami CF on Univision; Saturday, May 30 at LAFC on UniMás; Saturday, June 20 versus Real Salt Lake on UniMás; Saturday, July 11 on the East Coast against New York Red Bulls on UniMás; and Thursday, Aug. 20 against FC Dallas on UniMás.

For the third consecutive year, every locally-televised game this season will be featured on KUBE 57, available for free throughout the Greater Houston area over the air as well as on cable and satellite. KUBE is scheduled to televise 28 of Houston's 34 league matches this season.

This is the first season for Dynamo head coach Tab Ramos, who joined the club as the fourth full-time head coach in club history on Oct. 25. One of the first players signed since then is Colombian forward Darwin Quintero, who won five trophies during his stint in Mexico and finished as the league's top goal scorer in the 2013 LigaMX Apertura season and the 2012-13 Concacaf Champions League tournament.

The Dynamo will adjust to a new format with the introduction of Inter Miami CF and Nashville SC in 2020. Houston will face each of the 12 other clubs in the West twice - home and away - and nine of the Eastern Conference clubs once each. The Dynamo will not play against the Chicago Fire, FC Cincinnati and Philadelphia Union.
