TAMPA, Florida -- Three teams will celebrate their home openers for the 2025-26 season, welcoming fans in Cleveland, Cincinnati and Oklahoma City as part of the Week 6 pre-holiday festivities.

The Cleveland Samba will host the Buffalo-based Sahara Gunners and the OKC Certified Lions will debut at the 4,500 seat OG&E Coliseum this weekend when they take on Austin's Bold Dream FC. And for the third time this winter -- heavy snow has already forced two postponements of planned home openers in the Queen City -- the Cincinnati Swerve will take to the field to host Detroit Waza Flo. 

Elsewhere, a spicy matchup in Wilmington, Delaware will feature two newcomers with talented lineups as Delaware City FC hosts Cumberland Valley.

Next weekend, the defending league champion RGV Barracudas will start their 2025-26 schedule with a trip to OKC, Cumberland Valley and the Maryland Storm will do battle in Westminster, Maryland, and the Wichita Selection will debut in hosting another newcomer, Deportivo Shaolin.
