The season kicks off at home against New York City FC on Sunday, Feb. 22. However, the early season highlights are two major tributes to Galaxy icons.
On Saturday, April 4, the club will host a Landon Donovan Celebration when Minnesota United visits, coinciding with the release of the legend's new memoir.
Later that month, on Sunday, April 26, a permanent piece of club history will be unveiled as Cobi Jones becomes the third Galaxy legend immortalized with a statue in Legends Plaza ahead of the match against Real Salt Lake.
