What are Nashville SC's plans for the 2022 preseason? Here's a look at the schedule

For a third consecutive year, Nashville SC is headed to IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, for preseason camp.

The MLS club will travel this weekend to begin camp Monday. This will kick off the first of three preseason phases. The first period concludes Jan. 28, followed by a brief return to Nashville through Feb. 5. The final phase spans from Feb. 618 in Tampa, Florida. Nashville's 2022 regular season begins Feb. 27 at Seattle Sounders FC.

During preseason, Nashville expects to play five friendly matches. Two opponents have yet to be determined as of Friday, when Nashville released its schedule.

Nashville playing half of its preseason matches would be an improvement from 2021, given the club was forced to cancel four matches, due to COVID-19 concerns or travelling issues from other teams.

Here is the 2022 preseason schedule:

Jan. 28: vs. TBD, time and location is TBD

Feb. 8: vs. Charlotte FC; 2 p.m.; IMG Academy, Bradenton, Fla.

Feb. 12: vs. TBD; time and location is TBD

Feb. 15: vs. FC Cincinnati; 11 a.m.; Clearwater, Fla.

Feb. 18: vs. Philadelphia Union; 11 a.m.; Clearwater, Fla.
