Sporting Kansas City is set to host New York City FC at Children's Mercy Park on Saturday, marking the first meeting between the two teams in seven years. The match, part of the 2025 MLS Regular Season, will kick off at 7:30 p.m. CT.
Tickets for the game are available on SeatGeek, including a special Coca-Cola Family & Friends 4-Pack offer. Fans attending the game can bring one sealed bottle of water and purchase an SKC Hot Dog Scarf, which coincides with National Hot Dog Day celebrations.
Daniel Salloi from Sporting KC and Maxi Moralez from NYCFC are the only players remaining from their last encounter in Kansas City in 2018. Salloi will celebrate his 29th birthday during the match, while Moralez has been a consistent starter for NYCFC this season.
NYCFC comes into the match after a recent victory against Orlando, with Alonso Martinez scoring the decisive goal. Defensively, they rely on Thiago Martins and goalkeeper Matt Freese. Sporting KC's offense showed promise in their previous match against Seattle despite a loss.
The match will feature new managers Kerry Zavagnin for Sporting KC and Pascal Jansen for NYCFC. Both teams have key players missing due to injuries.
Fans can watch the game via Apple TV or listen to live radio coverage locally.
