Lights announce 34-game schedule
The Las Vegas Lights announced their 34-game schedule Wednesday, which begins March 13 at New Mexico United.
Their first home game is March 19 against Phoenix Rising at Cashman Field.
The Lights went 6-23-3 last season, finishing last in the United Soccer League’s Pacific Division. Despite that, Lights coach Steve Cherundolo was named the head coach of parent club Los Angeles FC of the MLS.
The Lights are expected to renew their affiliation with LAFC, but no official announcement has been made. Once a deal is in place, the new coach and roster likely would be announced as well.
