San Jose Earthquakes News Release


SAN JOSE, Calif. - The San Jose Earthquakes announced today that due to the high demand for Prime Time at Levi's® Stadium vs. LAFC on Saturday, Sept. 13, the upper decks have now been opened for sale. The Earthquakes also announced a special $30 ticket offer (including all fees) is now available until Wednesday night.

With the Earthquakes and their high-flying attack under first-year Head Coach Bruce Arena currently sitting in Audi MLS Cup Playoff position with just five games to play in the regular season, the stakes for Saturday's match against their Southern California rivals are higher than ever. Behind 2025 MLS All-Star and team captain Cristian Espinoza, the prolific scoring duo of Chicho Arango and Josef Martínez who have 24 goals between them, as well as San Jose native and Young Player of the Year candidate Beau Leroux, the Quakes enter the clash with an added sense of urgency in front of a likely record-setting crowd. The club is expected to break the all-time standalone mark for an Earthquakes home game of 50,850 set in June 2019.

Single-game tickets, including the limited-time "$30 for 30 hours" deal in the 300 and 400 levels, which includes all taxes and fees and runs through Wednesday night, can be purchased here. Tickets for groups of 10 or more can be purchased by calling the Earthquakes' Front Office at (408) 556-7700 or.

Kickoff for Prime Time is slated for 5:30 p.m. PT and will air on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV, as well as via local radio on 107.7 The Bone FM (English) with Ted Ramey and Joe Cannon, and 1370 AM La Kaliente (Spanish) with Carlos César Rivera and Ramiro Corrales.

The rivalry match, presented by Habbas Law, stands to be the biggest Mexican Independence Day Weekend celebration in the Bay Area. The parade of festivities includes a pregame Fan Fest on the Faithful Mile starting at 2:30 p.m. PT with Pro Wrestling Revolution luchadores headlined by superstar Blue Demon Jr., as well as meet-and-greets with soccer legend Moisés Múñoz and boxing Hall of Famer Erik "El Terrible" Morales. In addition, the first 10,000 fans will receive a special-edition Mexican Heritage Terremotos Shirt courtesy of Habbas Law. Rising corridos artist Edgardo Nuñez will perform at halftime.

The Quakes are no stranger to drawing massive crowds for pivotal games-especially at Levi's® Stadium, home of the NFL's San Francisco 49ers-with more than 43,000 fans turning out for each of their clashes vs. LAFC in 2023 and 2024. In addition, last year's Leagues Cup group stage match vs. Chivas de Guadalajara at Levi's® Stadium shattered the tournament attendance record with 50,675 spectators on hand.

With the most recent Cali Clasico on June 28 against the Galaxy drawing 42,881 fans at Stanford and 45,000 tickets already sold for Sept. 13, the Earthquakes are slated to host two of the eight highest-attended regular-season matches in all MLS this season-and the only two games on that list west of the Mississippi River.
