2019 Richmond Kickers season

The 2019 Richmond Kickers season is a soccer club based in Richmond, Virginia. It was the club's 27th season of existence, their 15th season in the third tier of American soccer, and their first season in the newly-created USL League One. It was the Kickers' first season playing in the third tier of American soccer since 2016, when they were in the United Soccer League. The season covers the period from October 14, 2018 to the beginning of the 2020 USL League One season.

Preseason
On January 19, 2019, the Kickers revealed their preseason schedule. Richmond played seven matches in the span of just over a month, including five games against collegiate programs and two games against clubs from the USL Championship. All six games took place in the state of Virginia, with the Kickers playing host to five of those games; just one, however, was played at City Stadium.

Match results
On December 7, 2018, the league announced the home openers for its inaugural season. Richmond's first-ever match in the league will take place on March 30, 2019, with the Kickers playing host to Lansing Ignite. Richmond will also take part in the home-opening match for Lansing, visiting Cooley Law School Stadium on April 13.

The remainder of the league schedule was released on December 10, 2018. The inaugural USL League One season will consist of 28 matches for the Kickers, with Richmond playing four times against Chattanooga Red Wolves and three times against every other opponent. Richmond will renew their series with Orlando City B and Toronto FC II, both of whom they previously faced in the United Soccer League; they will face all seven other teams for the first time.
