Sporting KC Returns to the Road to Take on LAFC Sporting Kansas City will face Los Angeles FC in a crucial Western Conference matchup on Saturday, July 25, as part of the 2026 MLS regular season. The game, scheduled for 9:30 p.m. CT (9:40 p.m. kickoff) at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, marks the halfway point of SKC’s 34-game campaign. The match will be broadcast on Apple TV in English and Spanish, with radio coverage on Sports Radio 810 WHB and La Grande 1340 AM, alongside live streams via the SKC mobile app. The Kansas City club enters the contest following a 2-1 victory over Minnesota United FC on Wednesday, with Designated Players Dejan Joveljic and Manu Garcia scoring to extend their recent scoring streaks. Garcia, who has contributed to a goal in each of his last five appearances, now holds a personal MLS career best for consecutive goal contributions. Joveljic, meanwhile, has netted in back-to-back games since the World Cup break, joining a select group of players with 10 goal contributions in each of the past five seasons. Goalkeeper Stefan Cleveland recorded six saves to secure the win, as SKC looks to claim its first clean sheet of the year against LAFC. LAFC, meanwhile, is led by its Designated Player duo of Son-Heung Min and Denis Bouanga, both of whom have been in strong form following the World Cup. Bouanga leads the team with 13 goals across all competitions, while Son, set to represent the club in the MLS All-Star Game, has recorded 10 assists—most in the league. Son’s participation as South Korea’s captain during the FIFA World Cup 26 added to LAFC’s success, as four of its players competed in the tournament. Jacob Shaffelburg, Mathieu Choiniere, and Stephen Eustáquio represented Canada, though Eustáquio returned to FC Porto after his loan ended on June 30.#los_angeles_fc #dejan_joveljic #stefan_cleveland #sporting_kc #manu_garcia
