Sacramento Republic FC has released its schedule for the upcoming 2014 season. Though the Portland Timbers have not yet announced (or necessarily decided) which players will be spending time in Northern California, there are a handful of worthy candidates.
The Republic start their inaugural season on March 29 against LA Galaxy II at the StubHub Center and continue with four to six games each month until the final two in September. MLS clubs do not drop into the US Open Cup until the Third Round, which took place the last week of May in 2013. However, USL Pro clubs begin in the First Round, which was in mid-May last year. Assuming the dates are similar, Sacramento would play seven games before a decision would need to be made about potentially cup-tying Portland's players in earlier rounds.
In addition to playing the regular group of USL Pro teams like Dayton Dutch Lions, Rochester Rhinos and Orlando City, Sacramento will play Chivas USA's reserves on April 7. The Republic will also square off against LA Galaxy II four times. The Timbers will play three regular season games before Sacramento's debut.
