In only a couple of months, AutoZone Park will be filled with screaming fans roaring their team to victory. Memphis 901 FC today announced its schedule for the 2022 regular season.

The organization will host 17 home games between March and October, with the home opener against the Pittsburgh Riverhounds set for Saturday, March 12. In the full 34-match slate, Memphis will have home-and-away bouts against each Eastern Conference rival and also contest exciting matchups against eight Western Conference opponents, with four at home: Oakland Roots (March 19), LA Galaxy II (May 18), Phoenix Rising FC (July 9), and Rio Grande Valley FC Toros (October 5).

At the end of the season, the top seven teams from the Eastern and Western Conferences will qualify for the 2022 USL Championship Playoffs.

Fresh off its first playoff appearance last year, 901 FC has already started constructing its squad for the upcoming season. The team recently announced the re-signing of captain Leston Paul, defender Zach Carroll, and midfielder Laurent Kissiedou. The squad also permanently signed former loanee Niall Logue and acquired Irish midfielder Aaron Molloy.

Most matches will stream on ESPN+ with a select few set to air on ESPN or ESPN2. The broadcast schedule will be announced in the coming weeks.
