Red Bulls Home Opener Sat. 3/1/2025 at Sports Illustrated Stadium

The New York Red Bulls are set to kick off their 2025 Major League Soccer season with their home opener against Nashville SC on Saturday, March 1, 2025, at Sports Illustrated Stadium—the newly named Red Bull Arena after the purchase of its naming rights by Sports Illustrated. The match will begin at 6:30 p.m., but fans can expect pregame activities ahead of the kickoff. More details on the Red Bulls website.

Both teams are coming into this match after disappointing results last weekend. The Red Bulls fell 1-0 to FC Cincinnati, while Nashville SC played to a 0-0 draw against the New England Revolution. Nashville has yet to score in their first two games of the season, and the Red Bulls will be looking to bounce back after a five-match winless streak at home to close out 2024.

The Red Bulls will also try to avoid opening the season with two straight losses for the first time since 2021. Despite recent struggles, the team has a solid record in home openers, having not lost one since 2022.

New York has had success against Nashville, winning their only home meeting in 2021, 2-0. Nashville, however, has held the Red Bulls to a draw in two of their three trips to Harrison, so Saturday's matchup could be a challenge.

Fans should prepare for chilly temperatures, with the weather expected to be in the 40s during the game, though it will be in the 50s earlier in the day.

The Harrison Police Department has not yet issued a Traffic Bulletin for the game, but one will likely be released ahead of matchday.
