Sporting Kansas City News Release
After 32 matches in 24 weeks for Sporting Kansas City, this week is the club's first without a match since the Major League Soccer season started in February.
Sporting Kansas City will resume the MLS regular season next Saturday with eight remaining regular season fixtures in the final eight weeks of the schedule, in addition to a Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup semifinal match-up with Indy Eleven on Aug. 27 at Children's Mercy Park.
Registration closes today for the kindergarten through 3rd/4th grade divisions of Sporting Rec League this fall at Central Bank Sporting Complex in Kansas City, Missouri ((9101 N Line Creek Pkwy) and Compass Minerals Sporting Fields in Kansas City, Kansas (1500 N 90th St.).

Major League Soccer's Secondary Transfer Window, during which an MLS team may request the international transfer certificate of a player under contract in another country, closes on Wednesday. Any trades between MLS clubs that involve players must take place within this transfer window and clubs most also declare their roster construction path by the close of the Secondary Transfer Window as part of the roster rules changes announced by MLS last month.
New in 2024, Behind the Shield presented by Audi will be available after every match this season with the video series - produced by Sporting's full-time digital storytellers - providing fans with an immersive viewing experience highlighted by exclusive interviews and all-access footage from SKC players, trainings and matchdays. This week's BTS captures the sights and sounds from the Leagues Cup Round of 32 and will premier at noon CT on Thursday on SportingKC.com and Sporting Kansas City's YouTube channel.
Tickets will go on sale this Thursday for Stadiumlinks from Sept. 27-29 at Children's Mercy Park, which will be transformed into a newly designed golf course for the special event. Tee times will be offered across the three days in two to twelve player increments with prices starting at $119 per person.
