The Revolution will open the season with an away match for a 10th consecutive campaign, traveling to Talen Energy Stadium to face Philadelphia. New England holds a 2-5-2 record in its last nine season openers, all of which were on the road. At Gillette Stadium, New England has earned a result in each of its last 11 home openers (7-0-4) and owns a 13-5-4 all-time record in opening games in Foxborough.
When the Revs return home to face Colorado on March 10, it will mark the earliest home opener in club history, two days earlier than the 2016 opener on March 12. Last season, the Revolution opened the home slate with a 5-2 win over Minnesota United FC on March 25 after its scheduled home opener, March 11 vs. Orlando City SC, was postponed due to extreme weather conditions.
The Revolution communications staff will begin accepting applications for 2018 season and single-game media credentials in the new year. More information will be distributed at a later date.
