The first few weeks of the schedule have been released.

As a newly-minted fan of Austin FC, I'm a little disappointed (but not surprised) that the stadium won't be ready until June. I'd been hearing that there were some pretty major construction delays, so I'm glad that they're taking the time to iron out all of the issues rather than rush to be ready day 1. At first I thought that it's really unfortunate that an expansion team will play every match on the road for their first two months of existence, but then I remembered that the Canadian teams will be playing every match on the road indefinitely.
We should do a SoSH meet up. Maybe when the Revs come to town?

Honestly, I think the delayed opening day is a blessing; presumably COVID restrictions will loosen over time, so maybe the backloading will allow more fans to get in the door over the course of the season.

First, I'll absolutely hang out with any Austin-based MLS fans. Second, I bought season tickets for Austin FC and I definitely feel sad that they won't have a home for two months, but I'm also glad that they'll have a ton of home matches in the latter part of this year when people will theoretically be vaccinated and capacity may be able to reach 100%.
