BLAKE AERNI

A Kansas City native, Blake Aerni has been around Sporting KC for as long as he can remember, first attending Wizards games as a kid. His passion for the game led him to the University of Nebraska, where he dove into broadcasting with the student radio station and Big Ten Plus. After years of working alongside Nate Bukaty and Aly Trost Martin, Blake took over as the “voice” of Sporting KC in 2024. Now, he brings that same lifelong passion to fans, sharing the stories of the club and the city he’s always called home.
