Major League Soccer has announced that the inaugural Seattle Sounders FC game will kick off at 6 p.m. March 19 vs. the New York Red Bulls at Qwest Field and before a national television audience.
New York is the 2008 MLS Cup runner-up.
“By being selected for the first match of the 2009 MLS season, this presents an opportunity to show a national audience what all the excitement is about in Seattle,” said Sounders FC majority owner Joe Roth. “Our supporters will be in full voice and, along with our players, wearing green. It promises to be quite a spectacle.”
The rest of MLS' opening weekend schedule features five matches on March 21 and another on March 22.
It was also announced that Seattle will be the guest for the Toronto FC home opener at noon April 4.
The complete MLS schedule will be released in early February. Each team plays a 30-game regular season, meeting every other MLS team home and away, for a base of 28 games. Two additional games against intra-conference rivals will complete each team’s league schedule. The regular season will end Oct. 25.
