Western Conference leaders Sporting Kansas City will return to Children's Mercy Park this Saturday for the resumption of the MLS regular season, hosting rivals Houston Dynamo at 7:30 p.m. CT. FOX Sports Kansas City, FOX Sports Midwest and FOX Sports GO will air three hours of live coverage beginning at 7 p.m. CT, while listeners can catch the action on Sports Radio 810 WHB (English) and ESPN Deportes KC 1480 AM (Spanish).
But that's not the only time and place for soccer fans to enjoy MLS action this weekend. While the 2018 FIFA World Cup dominates the early time slots with matches at 7 a.m., 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., a pair of mouthwatering interconference matchups await Saturday and Sunday afternoon, respectively.
At 5 p.m. CT Saturday, Bradley Wright-Phillips and the New York Red Bulls (8-4-2, 26 points) host an FC Dallas side (8-1-5, 29 points) that is currently tied with Sporting KC atop the Western Conference standings. The game will stream live in English on Twitter @UnivisionSports, while UniMas will provide a Spanish broadcast.
At 3:30 p.m. CT Sunday, following a World Cup battle between Colombia and Poland, Supporters' Shield leaders Atlanta United FC (10-3-3, 33 points) welcome the Portland Timbers (6-3-4, 22 points) for a nationally televised showdown on FOX.
A limited number of tickets for Saturday's clash at Children's Mercy Park are available via SeatGeek.com, and the first 10,000 fans through the stadium gates will receive black argyle sunglasses courtesy of match sponsor UMB Bank.
