Renewal FAQ
Renewal FAQ

Can I renew for just the Sprint Season or the 2027-2028 MLS Season?
No, 2027-2028 Season Ticket Memberships include both the 2027 Sprint Season and the full 2027-2028 MLS Season.  

Why did you go with a 16-month payment plan?
A 16-month payment plan allows us to spread out the cost of 25 games in a way that is roughly equivalent to the current structure (25/16 = ~1.56 games per month, which is just slightly above 18/12 = 1.5 games per month). It also sets us up for the future renewal timeline for the 2028-2029 season and beyond. 

When will I begin paying my new monthly fee?
August 1, 2026

What will my pricing look like?
Pricing will be fully confirmed when the renewal period opens on June 23.
