The Seattle Sounders will open the 2022 MLS regular-season at home, marking the 13th time in 14 seasons they’ve been able to do that. As seems to also happen with alarming regularity, they’ll be facing an opponent for the first time ever: Nashville SC on Feb. 27. The league announced all 28 home openers on Monday.
The Sounders are 9-4-0 in MLS home openers, which includes a win over the New York Red Bulls in 2017 that was actually their third overall game of the season and was the only year they didn’t open at home.
