KC Reporter

Sporting Kansas City is set to host Austin FC at Children's Mercy Park on Sunday, September 7, 2025. The match will begin at 6:00 PM CT and will feature a number of activities for fans in attendance.

The event is designated as Kick Childhood Cancer Night. According to organizers, "Tonight we honor a cause bigger than the game: the fight against childhood cancer. The Victory Project’s past and present honorees will join us for a special tailgate and a heartfelt halftime recognition. Join us for a night full of heart as we celebrate their journeys and the courage that inspires us all."

Fans are encouraged to visit Mazuma Plaza before the match and explore available activities. Supporter Stand ticket holders and Season Ticket Members can gather in the Budweiser Brew House for prematch specials and to welcome players as they arrive.

Children's Mercy Park has implemented several new policies this season. Entry has been streamlined with Google Fiber Fast Lanes, designed to make entry faster and safer. Fans are advised not to bring bags if possible; those who do must comply with the stadium’s clear bag policy, which requires bags to be transparent and no larger than 12” x 12” x 6”. All bags are subject to search by security staff.

Tickets for Sporting KC matches are now mobile-only and must be managed through SeatGeek Account Manager. Attendees should have digital tickets ready prior to arrival, as tickets will be scanned before going through security. Screenshots of tickets are no longer accepted.

Parking details can be found at SportingKC.com/Stadium/Parking.

All transactions inside Children’s Mercy Park are cashless. Mobile ordering is available for both merchandise and concessions via the Sporting KC app.

The venue enforces restrictions on smoking (including e-cigarettes) and smokeless tobacco, which are prohibited throughout the facility.

A new feature at the stadium is Amazon Just Walk Out technology in one of the SportingStyle stores located on the east side of section 131. This system allows fans to self-service shop without checkout lines by swiping a card at a kiosk after selecting items. No pre-registration or Amazon account is required, but Sporting Pay is not accepted at this location.

Fans can also access information about attending matches through the official Sporting KC Gameday Guide available exclusively on Apple Maps.

Supporters in designated sections should note that wearing opposing team colors or gear in the Supporters Stand is not allowed; violators may be relocated within the stadium.
