The Houston Dynamo now know what the road to MLS Cup looks like in 2015. MLS has released the full schedule for the upcoming season (as long as CBA negotiations continue to go smoothly) and the new-look Dynamo, helmed by Owen Coyle, can now set their sights on competing in the new-look Western Conference. As was released in December, the Dynamo will open their season at home against Columbus Crew SC, two months from today on March 7th.
The following Friday, Tally Hall will return to Houston with Orlando City SC in the new expansion's second game of the year. Houston will also get two home games against former Eastern conference rivals Sporting Kansas City. El Capitan rivalry will also get a bump with the Dynamo facing FC Dallas three times throughout the season; a May game in Houston, and two matches in Frisco.
The Dynamo will feature on national broadcasts on four different networks and it appears that they will feature heavily on Univision and Univision Deportes (seven matches will be broadcast on the Spanish-language networks). No doubt the signing of Cubo Torres has helped to boost the interest in the Dynamo fixtures. Local broadcast information will be available at a later date.
