RENO, Nev. – In conjunction with the United Soccer League, Reno 1868 FC has announced its inaugural 2017 schedule, complete with 32 dates covering all regular season home and away matches.

Reno 1868 will begin its first regular season in club history against Orange County SC at Greater Nevada Field Saturday, March 25 at 7:00 p.m. Last year, Orange County advanced to the Western Conference USL Cup semi-finals after defeating Sacramento Republic FC in the first round.

“With twelve weekend dates plus fireworks on July 3, this schedule couldn’t be more fan friendly,” said Andy Smith, general manager of Reno 1868 FC. “We have a lot to look forward to in our inaugural year.”

Reno 1868 FC will meet its rival, Sacramento Republic, three times during the regular season. The first regular season match between both sides will be at Greater Nevada Field Saturday, June 10. The two then meet at Bonney Field August 19 and in Reno 1868’s home finale October 14.

Reno 1868 FC will play six different MLS owned teams in downtown Reno. The first will be against Vancouver Whitecaps 2 Saturday, April 1.
