    Galaxy, LAFC add U.S. Open Cup games to their already busy schedules
    • April 28, 2023

    The Galaxy and LAFC learned their U.S. Open Cup opponents on Thursday.

    Both teams enter the tournament for the Round of 32, which is set to be played May 9-10.

    The Galaxy, which advanced to the quarterfinals last season, will host the Seattle Sounders on May 10 at Dignity Health Sports Park.

    The Sounders entered the tournament for the third round and survived a wild meeting with San Diego Loyal of the Division II USL Championship league, winning 5-4. The Galaxy has been placed in group 3, along with the Sounders, Portland Timbers and Real Salt Lake.

    The Galaxy hosts Colorado in an MLS match on May 6, followed by the Cup match against Seattle on May 10 and another MLS match against San Jose on May 14. A road trip to Columbus (May 17) and D.C. United (May 20) follows.

    LAFC’s calendar is already crowded with CONCACAF Champions League play. MLS rescheduled this Saturday’s game against Houston because of the Champions League. LAFC opened the CCL semifinal round with a 1-1 draw against the Philadelphia Union on Wednesday night in Chester, Pa., and will play the second leg on Tuesday in L.A. That will be followed by a league game against San Jose on May 6 and their U.S. Open Cup game on the road on May 9 against Monterey Bay FC at Cardinale Stadium in Seaside.

    LAFC is in group four with the Colorado Rapids, Sacramento Republic FC and Monterey Bay FC.

    If either the Galaxy or LAFC win their Cup games, then another game will get added to their May schedule with the Round of 16 set for May 23-24. The quarterfinals are scheduled for June 6-7, followed by the semifinals on Aug. 23 and the final on Sept. 27.

    The Galaxy last won the tournament in 2005 and followed that with a runner-up finish in 2006.

    LAFC lost to the Galaxy in the Round of 16 in last year’s U.S. Open Cup.
