Head coach Alan Koch's squad will then travel to play Real Monarchs SLC before coming back to face Austin Bold on July 26th.

In August and September, Switchbacks FC will play 11 total games, hosting six and traveling for the other five.

Colorado Springs' home finale is Sept 26th against Salt Lake City before closing out the 2020 regular season at FC Tulsa on October 3rd.
