FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - The New England Revolution (2-6-1, 7 pts.) will hit the road for a three-game away stretch beginning with Sporting Kansas City (2-2-3, 9 pts.) on Saturday, April 27 at Children's Mercy Park. The match kicks off at 8:30 p.m. ET and will be televised locally on NBC Sports Boston, with Brad Feldman, Paul Mariner, and Naoko Funayama calling the action.
