Nashville SC, alongside MLS, have announced the schedule for the 2023 season. The team will host New York City FC as the first match of the MLS Is Back weekend in a nationally televised match on FOX and Fox Deportes on Feb. 25. 

After a spending last season in the Western Conference, Nashville SC returns to the East, and will host 10 Eastern Conference teams in their first-ever trip to GEODIS Park this season. The Boys in Gold will also host southern rival Atlanta United FC on Saturday, April 29 in a nationally televised contest on FOX and Fox Deportes at GEODIS Park.

The fixture marks the second of four nationally televised matchups for the Boys in Gold, all set to be played in Music City. Nashville will also host the Columbus Crew on May 28 and Orlando City SC on Oct. 4 on FS1 and Fox Deportes.   

Fans will also get a chance to see Nashville SC host thrilling matchups at GEODIS Park against teams such as the 2022 MLS Cup Champions LAFC on April 22 and defending Concacaf Champions League Champions Seattle Sounders FC on Sept. 30.     

Rivalry Week returns to MLS this season in a slate of matches across the week of May 13-20, in which the Boys in Gold will visit Charlotte FC for the second time in club history at Bank of America Stadium on May 20. The Boys in Gold will also host the newest MLS expansion side, St. Louis CITY SC, at GEODIS Park on June 17. 

In a monumental new chapter for North American soccer, beginning in 2023, all 47 MLS and LIGA MX clubs will compete in a completely reimagined Leagues Cup: an annual, month-long, Concacaf-sanctioned tournament. Leagues Cup 2023 will make history as the first major soccer tournament to feature every club from a pair of top-flight leagues. The MLS regular season will pause following the July 15 games for Leagues Cup play and resume on Aug. 20.  

This season will also be the first season that MLS will broadcast its games via Apple TV+ through the MLS Season Pass that features every live MLS regular-season match, the entire playoffs, and the Leagues Cup, all with no blackouts.   

Starting Feb. 1, Nashville SC Season Ticket members will have access to their MLS Season Pass on the Apple TV app. A subscription to MLS Season Pass will be included with each full-season ticket account. Other fans can subscribe for the price of $14.99 per month during the season or $99 per season, and Apple TV+ subscribers can sign up at a special price of $12.99 per month and $79 per season.

Nashville SC had a historic season in 2022, clinching its third-straight spot in the MLS Cup Playoffs, opening their permanent home at GEODIS Park and superstar Hany Mukhtar winning the Golden Boot and league MVP.
