The Master Schedule: Atlanta United 1 & 2

This is an incredibly exciting year for Atlanta United. Not only do they have an MLS Cup-contending first team, but the club will also introduce a reserve team set to premiere in the USL. For supporters, this means keeping up with double the amount of matches compared to last season. That’s 68 to be exact. Overwhelmed? Well, we’re here to help. Let us introduce the Atlanta United schedule that will lead you to glory, disappointment and lots of beer. Time to plan trips and viewing parties, with certain parties potentially requiring two televisions(you’ll see what we mean).

10/28: Atlanta United @ Toronto FC, 4:30 p.m.

The best detail of this schedule is that Atlanta United 1 & 2 are never playing at home on the same day, so ATL UTD 2 attendance won’t be negatively affected because of people’s decision to see the first team play instead.

Now, there are eight dates (4/21, 4/28, 5/5, 6/2, 6/13, 6/30, 7/21, 9/15) that see both teams play on the same day. However, until official start times for the USL matches are announced, we won’t know if any of them go on simultaneously with the first team. Rest assured though, DSS will keep everyone informed with different ways of watching both teams throughout the season.

We hope this coordinates your 2018.

Love,
