The United Soccer League suspended play on March 12, only five days after New York Red Bulls II had their home opener against Tampa Bay Rowdies. Five months later, the club took the field for their second match against Hartford Athletic at Red Bull Arena.
On that night, two academy players made their debuts, which included forward Dantouma Toure and midfielder Daniel Edelman. Five days after that, the team traveled to face Philadelphia Union II, which saw NYRB II defeat them, 5-1. Toure recorded his first professional assist, while Edelman scored his first professional goal. U-19 defender Bo Cummins made his professional debut in that match.
