Nashville SC announce next phase of schedule, fans allowed in limited numbers

Nashville SC and Major League Soccer announced Tuesday the remaining schedule of matches to round out the 2020 regular season.

Nashville SC announced nine additional home matches:

Of the nine matches announced, four are against teams in the MLS Western Conference and six are against teams currently in playoff position.

Notably, the remaining schedule will see fans return to Nissan Stadium for the first time since February 29. Up to 10% capacity will be allowed for the match against Minnesota on October 6, with that number increasing to 15% for the remaining matches in October.

MLS has also expanded the postseason for 2020. Ten teams from the Eastern Conference will qualify, with sides seeded 7-10 competing in a play-in round to determine who will advance to the full playoff bracket. In the West, eight teams will qualify directly to round one.

MLS will announce the playoff schedule and broadcast details at a later date. After 11 matches played, Nashville SC are currently in ninth place, with a game in hand on nearly every side in the conference. They’ll take on 13th-placed DC United tomorrow night at Nissan Stadium.
