The season will both start and end on the road. On March 14 in Kansas City and on November 1 in New York.
The first of 15 home matches will come on March 22 as Utah hosts the San Diego Wave FC at America First Field. Game two at home comes after a two-game road trip on April 3 against the Chicago Stars.
In total, the schedule sees four two-game road trips. That is balanced out with five two-game homestands.

After starting the season with six of the first nine games on the road, the Royals will play more matches at home than on the road in May, July, August, and September.
Since returning to the pitch in the 2024-2025 season, Utah has posted an overall record of 13-28-11.
With the NWSL removing the draft from the offseason schedule, the Royals will look to reload through free agency before they kickstart their 2026 campaign.
