The Houston Dynamo will open the 2019 season at BBVA Compass Stadium against Real Salt Lake on March 2.
Real Salt Lake reached the Western Conference Semifinals this season, qualifying for the postseason after Houston defeated the Los Angeles Galaxy on Oct. 28. They topped the Dynamo in both games this year.
Last year, the Dynamo opened the season with a 4-0 win over eventual MLS Cup champion Atlanta United FC. The club is 6-0-1 in home openers at BBVA Compass Stadium.
The Dynamo's CONCACAF Champions League Round of 16 match details were also released on Wednesday.
