The Chattanooga Red Wolves and their fans will soon know all the details of their 2020 schedule.

But on Thursday afternoon, the second-year professional soccer team found out when it would open its new stadium in East Ridge.

USL League One home openers were revealed Thursday, with the Red Wolves set for their first match at CHI Memorial Stadium at 5 p.m. on Aug. 1 against FC Tucson.

The Red Wolves played their home matches at Chattanooga Christian School in their inaugural season, putting together an 8-1-5 record at David Stanton Field and an overall mark of 10-8-10 that nearly catapulted them into the 10-team league's four-team playoffs last year.

The United Soccer League previously announced the USL League One season would kick off on July 18. The entire league schedule is expected to be released Friday.
