LA Galaxy II and USL announced the 2017 Regular Season Schedule on Tuesday. The season doesn’t kick off until Los Dos’ home opener on March 25, but LAGalaxy.com has highlighted five matches fans won’t want to miss in 2017:
Saturday, March 25: LA Galaxy vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2
The Mike Muñoz era begins. Muñoz will coach his first professional match when the Canadian side comes to the City of Angels for Los Dos’ season opener. Back in charge of the many graduates of his LA Galaxy Academy, Muñoz will be looking to show his familiarity with the Galaxy system and its players as he looks to build on three straight years of success for the Galaxy’s USL side.
Saturday, April 22: LA Galaxy II vs. Orange County SC
Los Dos host rival Orange County SC for the first time of the 2017 season. It’s Orange County SC’s first season after its rebrand from Orange County Blues FC and amidst a change of ownership, the club formed a multi-year player development partnership with LAFC this past offseason.
Sunday, May 14: New York Red Bulls II vs. LA Galaxy II
In a rare piece of scheduling, Los Dos will face an Eastern Conference side in 2017. That opponent will be New York Red Bulls II, the 2016 USL Champions. LA Galaxy II will travel to Red Bull Arena on May 14 as part of a two-game doubleheader that will also feature the sides’ MLS parent clubs matchup.
Sunday, June 25: LA Galaxy II vs. Sacramento Republic FC
Los Dos will host Sacramento Republic FC for the first and only time on this date. In three years, LA Galaxy II has yet to beat Sacramento Republic on its home turf. LA Galaxy II are just 1-8-3 against the club and went 0-1-3 against the Northern Californian rival in 2016.
Friday, June 30: LA Galaxy II vs. Swope Park Rangers
LA Galaxy II will face Swope Park Rangers at the StubHub Center Track & Field Stadium for the first time in club history. In two matches against SPR in their inaugural 2016 season,
Los Dos
lost both, including a 3-0 road defeat in the first round of the USL Cup Playoffs.
