FC Kansas City will open and close their inaugural season at home this season as the NWSL schedule was released. FC Kansas City actually has the league's inaugural game as they'll host the Portland Thorns on Saturday, April 13th in the league's first game.
The Blues actually begin their season with their first 3 games at Shawnee Mission's District Stadium. The following Saturday, April 20th, FCKC will host the Boston Breakers and then the next Friday the 26th they'll play the Seattle Reign before their first road trip to Seattle the next weekend.
