POUGHKEEPSIE, NY – Stockade FC and the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) have announced the schedule for the upcoming 2023 summer season. Stockade FC will play this summer’s matches at Tenney Stadium on the campus of Marist College in Poughkeepsie, NY.
With the new alignment of the 5-team North Atlantic Conference (Cedar Stars are not returning in 2023), Stockade FC will compete in 10 regular season matches. The season kicks off with a 3-match away stand which includes trips to New York Shockers (Sat May 6) and Valeo FC (Sat May 20). Stockade FC will also travel to nearby Pathfinder FC (Sat May 13) of USL2 for a mid-season friendly.
The home opener at Tenney Stadium will take place on Memorial Day Weekend as Syracuse FC (Sat May 27) visits, followed by a visit from Connecticut rivals, Hartford City FC (Sat June 3).
Stockade FC will travel to Vermont for a midweek friendly on June 7th for a match up with the incredibly popular USL2 club, Vermont Green FC (Wed June 7).
Stockade FC will return to NPSL play with a midweek trip to Syracuse FC (Wed June 14) before returning to Tenney Stadium as Valeo FC (Sat June 17) heads to Poughkeepsie on Saturday.
A key set of matchups looks to be a late June afternoon showdown with Hartford City FC (Sun June 25) at Trinity Health Stadium and a busy week at Tenney Stadium as Valeo FC (Wed June 28) and New York Shockers (Sat July 1) come to town.
To wrap up the regular season, Stockade FC travels to Syracuse for the second time to meet Syracuse FC (July 8) in the final regular season date.
Stockade FC will meet Hartford City and New York Shockers twice each, home and away. By random draw, Stockade FC will see three matchups with Valeo FC and Syracuse FC. Valeo will travel to Poughkeepsie twice, while Stockade FC will head north to Syracuse on two occasions. The odd number of teams is the key contributor to mid-week NPSL matches in 2023.
This year’s North Atlantic Conference playoffs will feature a 3 @ 2 matchup on Wednesday July 12th before the winner visits the #1 seeded team on Saturday July 15th for the conference crown.
