On September 16, Las Vegas Lights FC will host its lone Sunday night home match on its 2018 schedule.
That match – a showdown with Portland Timbers 2 at Cashman Field – will now kick off at 6 p.m. The change moves the start of the game up from the originally scheduled time of 8 p.m.
With the kickoff time of the match moving up, so too will the start time of the Zappos Tailgate, which will begin on Sunday, September 16 at 3:30 p.m. just outside the Zappos Gate at Cashman Field. As always, the Zappos Tailgate party is free for all Lights FC fans to attend.
