MLS has postponed the New England Revolution's home opener against Orlando City because of cold temperatures.
The game was set to be played at 2 p.m. on Saturday at Gillette Stadium, but the league rescheduled it for Sept. 2, which is during one of FIFA's international breaks.
MLS said forecasts called for temperatures in the low 20s, with an additional wind chill that would bring it into the single digits, while snow was expected on Friday.
"All of us involved in this decision believe this is in the best interest of the fans, the players, and the game," Revolution president Brian Bilello said in a statement. "We at the Revolution look forward to seeing all our fans at the Orlando game on September 2."
Minnesota United's first home game in MLS is still set to go ahead on Sunday despite a projected kickoff temperature of 26 degrees. That would make it the third-coldest outdoor game in MLS history, according to the league's website.
The record was set in the 2013 MLS Cup final on Dec. 7 in Kansas City, as Sporting KC beat Real Salt Lake on penalties with the temperature at 20 degrees.
