Riverhounds 2025 Schedule Announced
December 19, 2024 - United Soccer League Championship (USL)
Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC News Release
PITTSBURGH - Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC's 2025 schedule was announced this afternoon, unveiling a 34-game slate that includes both USL Championship regular season and - brand new this year - USL Jägermeister Cup group play matches.
The Hounds have reached the playoffs in all seven seasons under head coach Bob Lilley, and his eighth year at the helm in Pittsburgh will begin with two straight road matches: Saturday, March 8 at North Carolina FC and Saturday, March 15 at San Antonio FC.
The 17-match home schedule will kick off on the final two Saturdays in March with two familiar Eastern Conference foes. Hartford Athletic will kick off the Hounds' 13th season at Highmark Stadium on March 22, and Birmingham Legion FC will be the opposition on March 29.
Other highlights on the regular-season schedule include the return of the Hounds' traditional Independence Day home date, a Friday, July 4 contest against New Mexico United before the City of Pittsburgh's fireworks light up the sky. That falls in the heart of a summer loaded with action, with three home matches in each of June, July and August.
The schedule winds down with the Hounds alternating away and home matches on Saturdays through September and October, wrapping up with an Oct. 18 road trip to Monterey Bay FC and an Oct. 25 regular-season finale hosting Phoenix Rising FC.
Mixed into the schedule are four Jägermeister Cup group play matches, as USL Championship teams participate for the first time in the inter-league cup competition. The Hounds will visit Detroit City FC (April 26) and host Rhode Island FC (May 31) in their first two matches before meeting a pair of USL League One teams for the first time, hosting Westchester SC (June 28) and visiting Portland Hearts of Pine (July 26).
Additional matches will be added to the schedule for the Hounds to compete in the U.S. Open Cup and if the Hounds advance to the knockout rounds of the Jägermeister Cup. Match times, TV schedules and home game promotions will be announced at a later date.
Riverhounds season tickets for 2025 are on sale now, and single-game tickets are set to go on sale in late January. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit riverhounds.com or contact the Highmark Stadium Box Office at 412-865-GOAL.
