The 2021/22 MLS offseason is an oddly short one, with only 11 weeks between the 2021 MLS Cup Final and the kickoff of the 2022 season everything will have to be expediated. Including releasing the entire schedule for next season. Just like the offseason, next year will also be a much more compact season than normal due to the Winter World Cup in being held in Qatar between mid-November and mid-December.
The season begins on Saturday, February 26th with the season opener in Chester, PA against Philadelphia Union. Minnesota will have their home opener the following week on Saturday, March 3rd at 5 PM against Nashville SC at Allianz Field in St. Paul.

The longest break the team will be two weeks without a match when they have the first two weeks of June off from league play.
