The free event -- presented by Michelob Ultra, Compass Minerals and adidas -- is open to all ages and parking will be available in the KC Live! Garage located at 131 East 13th Street or other nearby public parking garages. The Season Kickoff Block Party will be highlighted by an introduction of Sporting Kansas City’s 2025 roster as players take the stage and a SportingStyle pop-up store will be available on site to sell new Sporting KC merchandise, including the team’s 2025 primary jersey.
