FC Dallas News Release


FRISCO, Texas (Wednesday, Jan. 7) - Major League Soccer today announced the full schedule for its landmark 20th season.

FC Dallas will open the 2015 season with back-to-back games at Toyota Stadium before traveling to Philadelphia to face the Union in a rematch of the 2014 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup semifinal. Dallas returns to Toyota Stadium on Saturday, March 28, to face 2014 playoff enemy Seattle Sounders FC.

FC Dallas welcomes 2014 MLS Cup Champion LA Galaxy to Toyota Stadium on Saturday, May 9 and again on Saturday, Aug. 15. Dallas will play in two new venues during the 2015 season. The team will travel to the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Fla., on Saturday, July 11, and San Jose's new Avaya Stadium on Sunday, June 7.

The introduction of MLS expansion franchises Orlando City SC and New York City FC, both of which joined the Eastern Conference, creates a regional rivalry for FC Dallas. Due to the expansion, Houston Dynamo and Sporting Kansas City were moved to the Western Conference. As a result, FC Dallas will face both of its nearest opponents three times each in 2015.

The 2015 season, the first of an eight-year television and media rights partnership with ESPN, FOX Sports and Univision Deportes, will showcase new, consistent national television schedules, expanded live game streaming and innovative season-ending schedule enhancements - giving fans more opportunities than ever to engage with MLS content.

The last day of the 2015 regular season will see MLS unveil a new, exciting scheduling format - dubbed "Decision Day" - which will be one final flurry of action to settle the standings and determine who is in, and who is out, of the MLS Cup Playoffs. Games across each conference will be played simultaneously with the most meaningful playoff-race games broadcast nationally. Five games in the Eastern Conference will be played concurrently on Sunday, Oct. 25 at 5 p.m. ET with one game airing on FOX Sports 1 and one game airing on UniMás. Immediately following, all five Western Conference matches will be played at 7 p.m. ET, with one game airing on ESPN2 and one game on Univision Deportes Networks. All other games will be showcased across network and league digital platforms to ensure fans do not miss a minute of the action.

This year, 12 teams will qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs as the sixth place team in both conferences will now have a chance to vie for a chance at making the arduous trip to MLS Cup 2015, and for the first time ever, every minute of the playoffs will be telecast live on national TV. The Knockout Rounds will now consist of four single-elimination matches taking place on Wednesday, Oct. 28 and Thursday, Oct. 29.

The Conference Semifinals will take place over two consecutive weekends, Oct. 31-Nov. 1 and Nov. 7-8. Following a FIFA break from Nov. 9-17, the Conference Championship matches will begin on Nov. 21-22 and close out Nov. 28-29. The Conference Semifinals and Conference Championship matches will again be two-game aggregate goal series. Of the two clubs that reach MLS Cup, the team with the better regular season record will host the championship game, on Dec. 5-6 or Dec. 12-13. Full playoff schedule details will be announced at a later date.
