Major League Soccer announced Saturday the schedule and broadcast details for the continuation of its 25th season, which will resume in the home markets of the 26 clubs beginning Aug. 12.

Atlanta United will play home-and-home matches against regional competition — Inter Miami CF, Nashville SC and Orlando City SC — for a total of six matches. Its first match will be at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Saturday, Aug. 22 against Nashville SC (7 p.m. EST, FOX Sports South/Southeast). MLS plans to announce the balance of the regular season schedule by early September as the league continues to work with infectious disease experts, league and club medical personnel, and government officials in all markets in charting a course for the completion of the 2020 season.
