Fans have the opportunity to see the Rowdies four times at Al Lang Stadium.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The Tampa Bay Rowdies have announced their 2026 preseason schedule to kick off their USL Championship season.
The team will play eight games at Al Lang Stadium, four of them being open to the public, including two against Major League Soccer teams (Philadelphia Union, CF Montreal).
The final public game will be the “Cochol Cup” against Sarasota Paradise (USL League One). The game is in honor of John Cochol, a longtime United Soccer League executive, who passed away last year following a long battle with cancer. Proceeds from the ticket sales will benefit a charity chosen by John Cochol’s family.
The Tampa Bay Rowdies are coming off a nine-win, 14-loss, and seven-draw campaign, having missed the playoffs this past season. This will be Dominic Casciato’s first full season after joining the team midseason in July of last year.
