The Columbus Crew will kick off their 30th season on February 22, 2025, at Lower.com Field, facing off against Chicago Fire FC in a match themed 'Goosebumps' Night.

This special event will introduce the new Goosebumps™ Kit, honoring R.L. Stine, a Columbus native and author of the beloved series.

Notably, players Rudy Camacho, Nicholas Hagen, Lassi Lappalainen, and Taha Habroune will not participate in the match due to availability.

Additionally, the club is planning a community Legacy Project in Cleveland as part of Coming to Cleveland Night on April 19 against Inter Miami CF.

The Crew will also host the Hell is Real Derby against FC Cincinnati on May 17, followed by a match against Nashville SC on May 28 that promotes school attendance and engagement.

Players will wear unique jerseys featuring UV-activated technology, marking a first in MLS history.

All attendees will receive a 'Goosebumps' winter beanie upon entry, enhancing the festive atmosphere.

Ohio State national champions Caleb Downs and Carnell Tate will serve as match igniters, with additional Ohio State players expected to attend.

Single-match tickets for the season can be purchased through the Columbus Crew's official website, as the team has sold out season tickets for two consecutive years.

Fans should be aware that the Columbus Blue Jackets will have a game at Nationwide Arena at 7 p.m. on the same night, which may affect travel plans to the Crew match.

Looking ahead, the Crew will host a Soccer for All event on June 14 during the match against Vancouver Whitecaps FC, with more themed matches planned for the summer.

The regular season finale will take place on October 18, featuring Fan Appreciation Night against New York Red Bulls, complete with fan tributes and giveaways.
