Sunday’s match is one of seven scheduled home games for Tampa Bay Sun FC. Each team in the USL Super League plays a 14-match fall schedule and a similarly-balanced 14-game schedule in the spring (beginning in February).

“Competing on a fall-to-spring calendar and playing a balanced schedule further aligns the league with the global game, which has always been our strategy,” Vandervort said in a press release. The break also allows players a midseason break.

After the regular season, the top four teams on the USL Super League table qualify for the 2024-25 playoff: a single-elimination, fixed-bracket format featuring two semifinals and a final.
Unkel told WMNF public affairs program The Skinny last fall that she still wasn’t sure if the final would be at a neutral site or not.

“I’m obviously going to push for the winner to have that home field advantage,” she added.

The first chance to show the team the heat of that hometown love is finally here.

Tickets to watch Tampa Bay Sun FC play at Riverfront Stadium at Blake High School on the dates below are available via tampabaysunfc.com.

And if you can’t make it to a game, Peacock will stream every regular season and playoff match (115 matches, according to a press release) for U.S. customers.
