Sporting announces official pub partners for 2022 season

Sporting Kansas City announced today the club's official pub partners for the 2022 Major League Soccer season. The network of businesses - spanning across the Kansas City metropolitan area in addition to regional locations in Lawrence, Wichita and Oklahoma City - provides soccer fans and Sporting supporters with more than a dozen destinations for viewing Sporting Kansas City matches.

Each pub partner will show every Sporting Kansas City match this season. In addition, there will be an enhanced watch party location for each of the team's away matches featuring ticket raffles and giveaways as well as food and drink specials.

No Other Pub in the Kansas City Power & Light District remains a flagship hub for Sporting in the heart of downtown and will welcome fans for a 2022 Season Kickoff Party beginning at 6 p.m. CT on Friday. The event will feature guest servers Nate Bukaty and Hartzell Gray, as well as free access to all games, a live DJ, a 360 photo booth and a complimentary drink ticket for the first 50 guests wearing Sporting gear.

Led by Manager Peter Vermes and captain Johnny Russell, Sporting will open the team's 2022 season at 2 p.m. CT on Sunday at Atlanta United FC in a nationally-televised cross-conference matchup on FS1 and FOX Deportes.

Fans will have unprecedented access to Sporting Kansas City match broadcasts in 2022 as the club announced last week a new partnership with 38 The Spot for all 26 locally televised matches and new technology for enhancing the viewing experience. In addition, all non-nationally televised Sporting Kansas City matches will stream live for free on SportingKC.com and in the Sporting KC mobile app for viewers in Kansas and Missouri (excluding the St. Louis area per MLS policy), as well as via ESPN+ for out of market viewers.
