Los Angeles FC News Release


LAFC, riding a four-game win streak, welcomes Atlanta United, to BMO Stadium for a showdown on Sunday Night Soccer this weekend. Kickoff for the match, presented by DoorDash, is scheduled for 6 p.m. PT and will be available to watch for free to all Apple TV+ subscribers, as well as on Xfinity and DIRECTV platforms. Fans can also listen in on 710 AM ESPN LA, the ESPN App, 980 AM La Mera Mera (Spanish), and 1230 AM KYPA (Korean) in Los Angeles. The first 10,000 fans to enter BMO Stadium will receive a black and gold event bag courtesy of DoorDash.

After LAFC head coach Steve Cherundolo became the first coach in team history to reach 100 wins in all competitions following LAFC's most recent victory, All-Star striker Denis Bouanga, who was recently voted MLS Player of the Month for September, can reach his own pair of century milestones against Atlanta on Sunday:

Bouanga's next regular season appearance will mark his 100th with LAFC.

Bouanga needs only two goals to reach 100 across all competitions for LAFC. The Black & Gold, now 15-7-8 (53 points) in MLS play, sits in fourth place in the Western Conference and is only four points away from tying conference leaders San Diego FC atop the standings. LAFC is 2-2-2 all time against Atlanta and has not lost to the Georgia side since 2021.

Ahead of LAFC's match against Atlanta United on Sunday, Oct. 5, the club's MLS NEXT Pro affiliate, LAFC2, will host its final home match of the 2025 MLS NEXT Pro season against North Texas SC at 1 p.m. PT at USC's Rawlinson Stadium. This special matchday offers fans a unique opportunity to experience both LAFC and LAFC2 in action on the same day as supporters can walk from USC's campus to BMO Stadium.

Tickets to support LAFC2 are available.

The match against Atlanta United will re-air locally in Los Angeles on Tuesday, Oct. 7, at 5:30 p.m. PT on FOX 11 Plus (KCOP-TV Ch. 13). FOX 11 Plus is where fans can also get to know more about the Black & Gold on LAFC Weekly, a 30-minute magazine show that gives viewers an in-depth look at the club every Saturday night at 10 p.m.
