Tuesday January 23, 2024...At Last! Full Schedule Is Announces as 2024 Season Inches Closer (from York United FC)

AT LAST! FULL SCHEDULE IS ANNOUNCED AS 2024 SEASON INCHES EVER CLOSER
The Nine Stripes start their campaign in Ottawa and end it in Halifax, with lots of twists and turns in between.

COME ON YOU NINE STRIPES
York United FC will start and end the 2024 Canadian Premier League season with road trips, though they can count on four home games from their final six fixtures.

The details were included in today's official unveiling of the full schedule, presented by WestJet.

The campaign begins with a provincial derby at Ottawa's TD Place Stadium on Saturday, 13 April with a 1pm kick-off: the official curtain-raiser for the new CPL season.

The following weekend, it's another derby and this time on home soil. Bitter local rivals Forge FC come to York Lions Stadium on Sunday, April 21 at 4pm, while it's a quick turnaround as Martin Nash's side then host Vancouver FC on Friday, 26 April at 7pm.

Friday night lights will be a common theme at York Lions Stadium this year, with eight home fixtures pencilled in for that time-slot. Elsewhere, Labour Day weekend will be spent in Halifax for a Monday clash with the Wanderers while The Nine Stripes' final home game for 2024 will be Thursday, 10 October when Pacific FC come to town.

COMPELLING CRESCENDO
In similar fashion to last season - when The Nine Stripes delivered a last-gasp revival to grapple and grind their way to a postseason spot - four of the club's final six games will be on home soil, beginning in mid-September with the visit of Valour FC. The following week, it's Cavalry FC who make the trek to York Lions Stadium before a brief interlude in Hamilton and an assignment against Forge FC at Tim Hortons Field on Saturday, September 28. Then it's back to our house for a weekend clash with Atletico Ottawa and then that penultimate regular season game with Pacific.

Once again, the top-five teams will qualify for the playoffs while the Canadian Premier League Shield will be handed to the regular season champions, who will earn an automatic berth in the 2025 Concacaf Champions Cup.

Fans of The Nine Stripes won’t need to miss a moment of action in 2024, thanks to WestJet - the league’s Official Airline and Vacation Partner - who is today launching an exclusive offer to make it easier for supporters to take their passion on the road and cheer on York United FC this year.
