Sporting KC announces three more regular-season matches
The Sporting Kansas City regular-season schedule has grown by three games — two at home, one on the road.
The club announced Friday that games will be played Sept. 19 (vs. FC Dallas), Sept. 23 (vs. Orlando City SC) and Sept. 27 (at Colorado Rapids). Until Friday, the schedule had not extended beyond this Sunday’s game against Minnesota United. The Sept. 19 and Sept. 27 games will air on FOX Sports Kansas City.
Major League Soccer plans to play nine more regular-season matches from the start of October through Nov. 8. That would complete a 23-game regular season. Announcements about additional games will be made following an updated assessment of travel protocols.
