The 2020 Colorado Rapids season is the club's twenty-fifth season of existence and their twenty-fifth consecutive season in Major League Soccer (MLS), the top flight of American soccer. Colorado will also compete in the U.S. Open Cup. The season covers the period from October 7, 2019 to the conclusion of the MLS Cup Playoffs.
Background
Colorado finished the 2019 season 9th in the Western Conference table, and 16th overall in MLS. Kei Kamara lead Colorado with 14 goals across all competitions. The club fired head coach Anthony Hudson on May 1, 2019, following a nine-match winless streak to start the season.[1] Conor Casey served as interim head coach until the hiring of Robin Fraser as the club's new head coach on August 25.[2] Outside of MLS play, the Rapids played in the 2019 edition of the U.S. Open Cup, where they lost in the fourth round to New Mexico United.
