Competitions

Preseason

The club's preseason schedule was announced on January 9, 2022.[2] Originally, the club would have attended the 2022 Desert Showcase match with Seattle Sounders FC, however, the club opted out from the event due to scheduling conflicts and technical considerations. Real Salt Talk was replaced with Sounders' rival, the Portland Timbers for that match The club however, would still train in Tucson.[3]
