Participants will be divided into two teams: Team Sporting, wearing the club’s One KC primary jersey, and Team KC, wearing the new 18th & Vine secondary jersey. The main match between Sporting Kansas City and LA Galaxy will be broadcast live on Apple TV. Radio coverage is available through Sports Radio 810 WHB in English and La Grande 1340 AM in Spanish.
