Sporting Kansas City is traveling to take on Austin FC on Saturday night to start its regular season. But Kansas City has already hosted a game against another Major League Soccer team this year: Inter Miami, led by international phenom Lionel Messi, beat Sporting on Wednesday night, despite the decidedly un-Miami-like temperatures, in a CONCACAF Champions Cup tournament game. And in a few weeks, Kansas City Current will start the National Women’s Soccer League season. But if you don’t tune to the right channel for the right game, or subscribe to the correct streaming service (and there are many), you might miss out on some championship-level soccer.
How to watch Sporting Kansas City games
Sporting hosts 17 games total at its home stadium, Children’s Mercy Park in Kansas City, Kansas. Its first home game is scheduled for Saturday, March 1, against the San Jose Earthquakes. Tickets to home games are available on
Sporting KC’s website . All this season’s MLS games will air on
MLS Season Pass through Apple TV+. The Season Pass costs $14.99 per month ($99 per season) without Apple TV+, or $12.99 per month ($79 for the season) for Apple TV+ subscribers.
How to watch Kansas City Current games
The Kansas City Current will once again host 13 regular-season home games at
CPKC Stadium , next to Berkley Riverfront Park. The Riverfront Streetcar Extension that will offer easy access from homes and businesses along Main Street is
still another year out , so fans who want to avoid high parking costs will still need to take advantage of
Current-run shuttles from the River Market. Tickets to home games
are available on the team’s website now. In 2023, the National Women’s Soccer League negotiated a
$60 million TV rights deal that streams some games for free and spreads others across an array of networks. It opens the potential for exposing the league to a broader audience, but also makes it a little confusing to find where any given game will stream. Most Current games this season are on ION. The rest are split between Paramount+, ESPN, CBS Sports — including its “Golazo” network — Amazon Prime, and the
free NWSL+ network . The Bridge, 90.9 FM in Kansas City, also provides live radio coverage of Current matches. The CBS games will air on Kansas City’s local CBS station, KCTV5.
