In the realm of Major League Soccer (MLS), New York City FC (NYCFC) is gearing up for a challenging March schedule. Their month begins with a tough away match against Los Angeles FC (LAFC) on March 1, a team that has dominated the Western Conference in recent years. This game will be particularly intriguing as NYCFC reunites with Maxime Chanot, assuming he is not injured, and will need to contain players like Denis Bouanga while trying to score against Hugo Lloris[1].
Later in the month, NYCFC will host their home opener against Orlando City SC on March 8 at Yankee Stadium, celebrating their tenth anniversary in MLS. This match holds sentimental value as both teams began their MLS journeys in 2015 and faced each other in their inaugural game[1].
On the developmental front, MLS NEXT Pro is set to kick off its fourth season on March 7, marking the earliest start in its history. The league will feature 29 clubs, including 27 MLS affiliates and two independent teams, Carolina Core FC and Chattanooga FC. Most matches will be available to stream on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV[5].
