Nashville Soccer Club will wrap up its 2022 MLS regular season home schedule at 7:30 p.m. CT on Sunday against Houston Dynamo FC at GEODIS Park. Nashville SC is on the verge of clinching its third consecutive berth in the Audi MLS Cup this weekend, which would make them the fifth ever team in Major League Soccer to have accomplished such feat in their first three seasons (Chicago Fire, Seattle Sounders, Atlanta United and LAFC).
Tickets for the match, which will serve as the club’s Fan Appreciation Night, are available at www.NashvilleSC.com/tickets. A full list of activations planned for the night can be found here.
The Boys in Gold enter Week 33 in fourth place in the Western Conference just three points shy of third place. Nashville SC is riding a season-high six match unbeaten streak, not having lost a match since Aug. 14, while outscoring opponents 16-3 in that stretch.
Landon Donovan MLS MVP frontrunner Hany Mukhtar has been sensational in this 2022 campaign, reigning as the MLS Golden Boot leader with 23 goals and leading the league in goal contributions with 34. Mukhtar has contributed at least one goal in 17 of his last 20 MLS appearances and has been involved in over half of Nashville SC’s regular season goals in club history (70 of 129).
Nashville SC Captain Dax McCarty could make history this weekend, becoming second all-time in MLS history in matches played in the regular season by an outfield player. McCarty is currently tied with Jeff Larentowicz at 437 matches.

Nashville SC joined Major League Soccer on Feb. 29, 2020, in front of the largest attendance ever recorded for a soccer match in the State of Tennessee. In its inaugural MLS season, Nashville SC defeated expectations by becoming the second MLS expansion side to win and advance to the Conference Semifinals in the 2020 Audi MLS Cup Playoffs. Nashville SC returned to the 2021 Audi MLS Cup Playoffs in its sophomore season after becoming just the seventh team in MLS history to go unbeaten at home in a season. Nashville SC inaugurated GEODIS Park, the largest soccer-specific stadium in the United States and Canada, in front of a 30,109-sellout crowd on May 1, 2022.
