We have a date, we have an opponent, we have a venue.

York United FC's 2023 Canadian Premier League odyssey will officially begin with a home clash against Valour FC on Sunday, April 16 at York Lions Stadium.

The fixture wraps up the season's opening weekend of action and kicks off at 2pm ET.

The teams' last meeting at YLS saw an impressive display from The Nine Stripes. Despite going behind to an early penalty, they showed excellent composure to find a way back into the game and goals from Mo Babouli, Chrisnovic N'sa and Luis Lawrie-Lattanzio secured an excellent 3-1 victory as Martin Nash's charges valiantly attempted to stay in the playoff hunt.

Overall, York United have faced Valour five times at York Lions Stadium since the league began in 2019, with a record of two wins and three defeats.

The full 2023 Canadian Premier League schedule will be released on Monday, January 30.
