We are now just six days away from the New England Revolution taking on the LA Galaxy in their first preseason match of the 2020 year. And speaking of kickoffs we now how the kickoff times for every Revs II match in their inaugural USL League One season. I might be a little late to the party on this one but this is the first time I am seeing times associated with these matches.
Times are below and are in the eastern time zone.

Schedule Highlights
- There are seven week-day home matches that start at 5:00 pm and one Wednesday match at 1:00 pm. Rather tricky times for fans to get to games.
- Matches can be viewed through ESPN+ who own both the USL Championship and League One rights through the 2022 season. Last year the league also had a deal with Youtube with full matches also appearing on that platform
- April 25th will be the first Doubleheader at Gillette. The first team hosts the Montreal Impact at 1 pm and then the Revs II have a match with Toronto FC II at 8 pm. The next DH is on July 8th with Revs II hosting Toronto FC II at 1 pm and then the first team hosts Atlanta United at 7:30 pm. There are a handful of other days where both teams are playing on the same day but not in the same location
Technical Staff Buildout
On Monday the Revolution released a number of hires and promotions on the technical staff under Bruce Arena. Since Arena has been brought on the size of the technical staff has continued to grow and with a Revs II team to support the added staff is certainly necessary.
The big takeaway from the changes is former Academy Coach Marcelo Santos being added to Clint Peay’s staff on Revs II.
