RBNY Preseason Schedule Officially Released

On Saturday, Jan. 10, Red Bull New York announced its complete schedule for the 2026 preseason, including stops at IMG Academy in Bradenton, FL and Texas for the Torneo de Tejas.

New York began its preseason with the first official training sessions of 2026 in New Jersey on Saturday. From there, the club will head down to Florida, as it's done in previous years, to play at IMG Academy from Jan. 15 through the 24th. They'll play exhibition matches against Sarasota Paradise of USL League One on Jan. 21 and MLS's St. Louis City S.C. on Jan. 24, just 14 days after news dropped that the club had acquired RBNY homegrown midfielder Daniel Edelman via trade.

Then, the club will head back to home base in New Jersey between Jan. 25 through Feb. 3 and will host an exhibition match against USL Championship side Hartford Athletic in Feb. 3. New York defeated Hartford in the only ever competitive matchup between the two sides back in April 2022, a 2-1 victory in the third round of the U.S. Open Cup. Hartford will also play in a preseason exhibition match against RBNY II on Feb. 28.

The Red Bulls will finish its preseason between Houston and Dallas for the Torneo de Tejas, a four-team exhibition tournament between RBNY, Houston Dynamo, FC Dallas and Atlanta United. The tournament will begin on Feb. 7 and conclude on Feb. 14.
