Quakes to play LAFC at Levi’s® Stadium on May 6th!

The San Jose Earthquakes have unveiled their full schedule for the 2023 Major League Soccer season. The schedule is headlined by rivalry matches with the LA Galaxy and Los Angeles Football Club at Stanford Stadium and Levi’s Stadium®, respectively, as well as the inaugural Leagues Cup which features every club from MLS and Mexico’s Liga MX. San Jose will play their two SoCal rivals three times each, with a second showdown against the Galaxy taking place at PayPal Park.
