For the second time this season, Sporting Kansas City will be featured on national television. Sporting KC's match against the Philadelphia Union is the second match of MLS' #SoccerSunday doubleheader. Here are the matches that you should be tuning in to this weekend:
Orlando City SC vs. D.C. United - Friday - 6pm CT | UniMas
The MLS fun starts tonight with Viernes de Futbol, the weekly UniMas match to kick off the weekend slate. Tonight features an Orlando City squad looking for its first home win and a D.C. United team looking to prove that 2014 was not a fluke. United enters Friday's match in second place in the Eastern Conference with six points, while Orlando sits in a two-way tie for third place with five points.

San Jose Earthquakes vs. Real Salt Lake - Sunday - 4pm CT | ESPN2
#SoccerSunday kicks off with a battle of two Western Conference teams. Under head coach Dominic Kinnear, the San Jose Earthquakes shocked MLS with a 3-2 road win two weeks ago over the Seattle Sounders. The Earthquakes followed that up with a 2-1 win in their inaugural match at Avaya Stadium over the Chicago Fire. On Sunday, they'll welcome a Real Salt Lake team that is coming off a dramatic 2-1 win over Toronto FC last weekend. San Jose is currently in third place in the Western Conference with six points, while RSL is one of four teams in the West with five points.
Sporting KC vs. Philadelphia Union - 6pm CT | FOX Sports 1; FOX Deportes
This match has and will be covered in-depth elsewhere on the site, but there are lots of intriguing storylines heading into the match. How will Sporting KC adjust without the injured Graham Zusi? Will Dom Dwyer score his first goal of 2015 this weekend? Will Philadelphia earn their first win of the year? John Strong and Alexi Lalas will be on the call for Sunday's match on FOX Sports 1. Another sell-out crowd is expected (56th straight MLS sell-out at Sporting Park) but limited tickets are still available and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com or by calling 888-4KC-GOAL.
As a reminder, all out-of-market matches and non-nationally televised matches can be watched via MLS Live. Visit live.mlssoccer.com for more details.
