August 27, 2022 – Major League Soccer (MLS) – New England Revolution News Release
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Revolution (8-8-10; 34 pts.; 8th in East) begin a three-game homestand when they host the LA Galaxy (10-11-4; 34 pts.; 7th in West) on Sunday, August 28 for an 8:00 p.m. ET kickoff at Gillette Stadium. The match airs locally on WSBK-TV38 and myRITV with Brad Feldman, Charlie Davies, and Tamara Brown calling the action. Sunday’s contest also airs locally on the radio via 98.5 The Sports Hub and 1260 AM Nossa Radio (Portuguese).
New England and the Galaxy are set to meet for the first time since June 2, 2019, when the Revolution collected a 2-1 road victory in Bruce Arena’s first match on the Revolution’s sideline. Since then, Arena has amassed a .619 winning percentage, the best mark in club history. In the regular season series, the Revolution have won 11 of 21 home games against the Galaxy since 1996.

The two original MLS clubs carry significant history into the match, highlighted by Arena himself, who led the Galaxy to three MLS Cup titles and two Supporters’ Shields during his eight-season tenue as their head coach and general manager from 2008-16. LA Head Coach Greg Vanney played for Arena with the Galaxy before entering the coaching ranks, while the Revolution roster boasts several notable Galaxy alumni including defenders Omar Gonzalez and AJ DeLaGarza, both staples on Arena’s three MLS Cup championship teams in LA, and midfielder Emmanuel Boateng.
Sunday’s match begins a crucial three-game home swing for the Revolution, who play five of their final eight matches at Gillette Stadium. New England brings a nine-match unbeaten streak at Gillette Stadium into the homestand, having not lost in Foxborough since April 2.
