One day after the SuperDraft and just a couple of weeks after Columbus Crew defeated LAFC in the MLS Cup final, Major League Soccer revealed the schedule for the 2024 campaign, which will begin midweek on Wednesday, February 21.
The opening game of the season will be between Inter Miami and Real Salt Lake, which will open what is set to be an intriguing campaign for The Herons, one in which they will seek to reach the playoffs and fight for the MLS Cup title, something they ultimately failed to do in the 2023 season, where they did not make the playoffs due to a late-season slump.
This game between Inter Miami and Real Salt Lake will be the only game on opening day in midweek; according to MLS, it will serve as a prelude to the full MLS Is Back weekend, which starts on the following Saturday.
