Ballard FC today announced the full 2023 USL League Two season schedule. Limited season tickets and single-game tickets with new seating options are available at the link below. The team will host eight matches at Seattle’s Interbay Stadium, including six regular season matches starting with the home opener against Lane United FC on Friday May 26th.
In our inaugural season, Ballard FC was named USL League Two “New Club of the Year” after making it to the final eight in the USL2 National Playoffs. This year, Ballard FC has set its eyes on qualifying for U.S. Open Cup by winning the division and the 122-team USL2 championship in 2023.
“The fan and community response to Ballard FC has been nothing short of incredible, said Ballard FC co-founder and former Seattle Sounders player, Lamar Neagle. “More than 75 percent of 2022 season ticket holders retained their tickets for the 2023 season, which is a huge feat for any team, but for Ballard FC to do it in the first year just shows you that we are more than just a high caliber semi-pro soccer team–we are a community builder and a place where people feel included and entertained. This year, we will build on what we started by offering even more fan experiences and new ticketing opportunities.”
The six game league schedule features five Friday night matches, a fan-favorite from last season, and one Sunday afternoon kick-off and the two additional friendlies will be announced in the coming weeks.
Lane United FC comes to Ballard for the league opener on Friday May 26th before PDX FC on Friday June 2nd. Cross-town rivals Oly-Town FC take the trip north for back to back matches on Friday June 9th and Friday June 23rd. Capital FC, last season’s divisional champs and only team to beat Ballard FC in the regular season, come up from Salem for on Friday June 30th. Finally, newcomers this year, United PDX wrap up the regular season at Interbay Stadium on Sunday July 16th.
