The New England Revolution had something positive to show from their tumultuous 2023 season.

The Revolution were one of 10 MLS franchises in a North America-based field of 27 that qualified to participate in the 2024 Concacaf Champions Cup tournament.

The Revolution will face Club Atletico Independiente of Panama in Round One of a home and home series. Five of the 27 teams from the U.S., Central America, and the Caribbean were awarded a Round One bye.

The Revolution qualified by finishing sixth in the 2023 regular season but were eliminated from the MLS Cup playoffs in the first round by the Philadelphia Union.

The Revolution will open at Club Atletico on Feb. 6 and play the second match at Gillette Stadium on Feb. 29, with kickoff times to be determined. The winner will be decided by an aggregate score over the two matches. The victor will advance to the Round of 16 in a five-round knockout tournament that will run from February to June.

The Revolution are expected to name a new head coach in the coming weeks.
