Colorado Rapids Schedule 2026
Colorado Rapids Seating Charts
The Colorado Rapids roster for 2026 returns a core that knows the West does not forgive. Colorado finished 2025 at 11-15-8 (41 points), 11th in the conference, with Rafael Navarro scoring 12 goals and Zack Steffen anchoring the back line. A fresh chapter starts under new coach Matt Wells. RapidMan still works the sideline, and Colorado Rapids 2 keeps the pipeline moving.

Colorado Rapids standings can flip quickly in a 34-match season, so the schedule is a weekly test of focus and depth. The Rocky Mountain Cup series with Real Salt Lake carries extra edge, and Colorado held the trophy again in 2025. Keep an eye on Cole Bassett’s midfield engine and Keegan Rosenberry’s calm when games get choppy.
Dick’s Sporting Goods Park opened in 2007 and seats 18,061 for soccer, which keeps the action close and the sound tight. At just over 5,200 feet above sea level, it is MLS’s highest regular home, and late pressing can feel like a wave. The South Bank supporters’ section on the south endline is built with Centennial 38, so drums and chants stay coordinated. For a tactical view, sit higher along the sideline and watch spacing stretch and snap.
MLS Cup playoffs are the Rapids’ benchmark, and the club still wears the memory of its 2010 title. Missing the postseason in 2025 raised the urgency, especially with the league sending the top nine teams per conference, including a Wild Card for seeds 8-9, into a best-of-three first round. Colorado responded by hiring Matt Wells as head coach, aiming for a clearer identity and cleaner week-to-week execution. Rival points, goal difference, and late draws all matter in that chase.
Rapids nights blend mountain grit with a neighborhood feel: tailgates, burgundy scarves, and the South Bank turning every set piece into pressure. Pick a Rocky Mountain Cup rivalry date against Real Salt Lake, lean into the songs, and stay alert for those moments when Colorado starts hunting the second goal and the park tightens around the play. Tickets sell out quickly, so make sure you’re part of the crowd and get your tickets at Event Tickets Center!
