ABC AND ESPN2 HAVE released their Major League Soccer schedule, and Real Salt Lake is on it twice.
The home team has two home games on ESPN2 — Saturday, April 29, vs. the L.A. Galaxy and Saturday, May 27, vs. Colorado. That's the second-fewest number of appearances any of the 12 teams in the MLS will make, with only Kansas City (with one) making fewer.
ABC is airing only one regular-season game — the April 1 season-opener between Chicago and Dallas — as well as the MLS All-Star Game on July 29 and the MLS Cup on Nov. 12. ESPN2 is airing 23 regular-season games and, with one matchup left to be determined, here's how many times each of the teams will appear:
Chicago Fire — 7; Los Angeles Galaxy — 6; D. C. United — 6; Chivas USA — 5; New England Revolution — 4; FC Dallas — 4; Houston 1836 — 4; Columbus Crew — 3; Real Salt Lake — 2; Metrostars — 2; Colorado Rapids — 2; Kansas City Wizards — 1.
Obviously, the choices were made on the basis of how good the teams were last year — Chivas was the only team in the league with a worse record than RSL. And, oddly enough, TV market size wasn't a huge consideration, either, because the Metrostars — who are in the No. 1 TV market — are on the same number of times as Colorado (No. 18) and Salt Lake (No. 36).
For local fans, this doesn't mean a whole lot. RSL has yet to release its local broadcast schedule, and there will be game on Fox Sports Utah and the Fox Soccer Channel as well.

I'm really glad Cunningham is playing for RSL.
I think we will see great things from him this year!

I agree! Please let him not be another Mathis, though...

Check out the post on the RSL/DC United game. Hat trick in the first 45 minutes. Did Mathis ever do that???
