weekly countdown day 7

As Sporting Kansas City’s 2022 MLS regular season home opener looms, SportingKC.com is rolling out a 15-day countdown until MLS is back at Children’s Mercy Park. Sporting begins its 2022 campaign with a visit to Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Feb. 27 for a matchup with Atlanta United FC at 2 p.m. CT. Sporting will then host longtime rival Houston Dynamo FC at 2:30 p.m. CT on Saturday, March 5 at Children's Mercy Park.

The 2022 Preseason Countdown will provide fans with key storylines to keep an eye on as we approach Sporting’s home opener. From player highlights and coaching spotlights to new features at Children’s Mercy Park, the 2022 Preseason Countdown will highlight the many reasons to be excited for what’s ahead.

Sporting KC soccer at Children’s Mercy Park is just one week away. To celebrate how close, we are today’s countdown dedicated to the best fans in MLS.

We could not be more excited to welcome everyone back next Sat. March 5. The Blue Hell gives the team that extra motivation and that is clearly seen in the club’s success at home. Last season Sporting went 9-3-5 at home, as the club approached 100 wins at Children’s Mercy Park. Entering 2022 Sporting is five wins shy of 100 regular season wins at CMP.

Even when the club is on the road the presence of the fans is felt. It does not matter if you are watching our new broadcast partners, 38 The Spot at your house, live streaming the match on the Sporting KC App or at SportingKC.com/live or if you go to one of our Pub Partners, your support is felt.

Whether it’s victory beers in the Cauldron, post-match speeches from Peter Vermes in the Budweiser Brew House or chants ringing out throughout the entire stadium during the match, it has been too long since there has been soccer in front of Sporting’s fantastic fans. The wait is almost over as there is just one more week to go.

Fans can purchase their tickets for the home opener against Houston Dynamo on Saturday, March 5 at 2:30 pm CT at SeatGeek.com.
