USL revealed the home openers for the USL Championship 2019 season on Friday, and we know two of the games for Orange County SC.
The USL Championship (that’s the new name of the division) will open on March 9, with 36 teams tabbed to play in the 2019 season. Orange County SC will play in the Western Conference again, no surprise there.
OCSC will begin their campaign on the road on March 9, as they will face Reno 1868 FC on the road to open the season for the second time in three years, after they did the same to open the 2017 season.
The following week, they will open their home slate, as they’ll host Tulsa Roughnecks FC on March 16.
⚽ Our Home Opener will be on March 16th vs @RoughnecksFC at Championship Soccer Stadium!!

We’ll find out the rest of the slate when it drops, and about Orange County SC’s preparations for the upcoming season as we progress through the offseason. We’ll keep you posted on updates.
