Match results

In August 2017, the USL announced that the 2018 season will span 34 games, the longest regular season the league has ever run.[2] The expansion was spurred by the addition of six new clubs for the 2018 season: Atlanta United 2, Fresno FC, Indy Eleven, Las Vegas Lights, Nashville SC, and North Carolina FC.

On January 12, 2018, the league announced home openers for every club. Energy FC opened their home slate with the season's first fixture of the Black Gold Derby against Tulsa Roughnecks, the second time in four years that Energy FC and Tulsa faced off in the season opener.[3] The teams had previously faced off to open the 2015 season.

The schedule for the remainder of the 2018 season was released on January 19. Energy FC will play three times against both Colorado Springs Switchbacks and Tulsa. They will play every other Western Conference team twice.[4]
