Real Salt Lake is gearing up for an action-packed 2025 Major League Soccer season, starting with an away match against San Jose Earthquakes on February 22. As detailed by ABC4, RSL's season opener initiates their 21st season in the MLS, setting the stage for a series of high-stakes games to follow.
Before facing the Earthquakes, RSL will set foot on international soil for the opening round of the 2025 CONCACAF Champions Cup. As reported by KSLTV, they are slated to compete against CS Herediano on February 19. This early challenge could be particularly influential in setting the tone for an entire season of competition.
An early peak in the schedule will see the Claret-and-Cobalt play possibly four home games within 10 days. This includes the MLS opener against Seattle Sounders on March 1 with a 2:30 p.m. MT kickoff at America First Field. "Various RSL season tickets and other holiday packages for the 2025 RSL season are now available," with sales for individual games starting about a month before the first match, according to RSL News. The match against the Sounders marks the start of the 16th MLS season to be inaugurated in Sandy, Utah.
As the season progresses, RSL supporters can mark their calendars for Decision Day, set to take place on October 4, where Real Salt Lake will be on the road against St. Louis CITY SC. This match will unequivocally determine RSL’s postseason odds. A club’s season can often hinge on such critical moments, and for Real Salt Lake, much may depend on the outcomes leading up to this climactic finale of the regular season.
