Match results

The league announced home openers for every club on December 14, 2018. The inaugural home match in Hartford Athletic history was scheduled for May 4, with the club facing Charlotte Independence; although it was initially anticipated that the game would be played at Dillon Stadium,[4] it and six other home matches were later moved to Rentschler Field due to construction delays.[5] Hartford were to take part in the home openers for four other clubs, facing Atlanta United 2 on March 9, Louisville City on March 23, Indy Eleven on March 30, and Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC on April 13.

Hartford Athletic's full schedule was released on December 19. The club's inaugural season will consist of 34 league matches, including home and away games against every Eastern Conference opponent. Hartford will be one of six new teams in the Eastern Conference: Birmingham Legion, Loudoun United, and Memphis 901 are also joining as expansion clubs, while Saint Louis FC and Swope Park Rangers move over from the Western Conference.[6]
