Manager Peter Vermes' men will play for their second straight away victory this weekend when they face expansion side Los Angeles Football Club (10-6-6, 36 points) for the first time.


Kickoff is set for 9:30 p.m. CT on Saturday, with three hours of live coverage at Banc of California Stadium beginning at 9 p.m. CT on FOX Sports Kansas City, FOX Sports Midwest Plus and FOX Sports GO. The match will also air live locally on Sports Radio 810 WHB (English) and ESPN Deportes KC 1480 AM (Spanish), while the Sporting KC Uphoria mobile app will provide live updates. In addition, The Final Whistle Postgame Show will air immediately afterwards on 810 WHB.


All supporters are welcome to the official watch party for Saturday's match at No Other Pub in the Kansas City Power & Light District (1370 Grand Blvd.). Beginning at 9 p.m. CT, No Other Pub will offer $4 Bud Light drafts and an all-you-can-eat buffet with bottomless soda and domestic draft beers.


A new episode of The Sporting KC Show will air at 7:15 p.m. CT Tuesday on Sports Radio 810 WHB. Hosts Nate Bukaty and Carter Augustine will recap the victory over Houston and look ahead to Saturday's pivotal matchup between Sporting KC and LAFC.


Major League Soccer's secondary transfer window, the second of two periods on the calendar in which teams can register new players via international transfers or intra-league trades, will officially close on Wednesday night. The secondary transfer window is the last chance for MLS teams to complete incoming transfers and player trades for the 2018 season.


Led by head coach Paulo Nagamura, the Swope Park Rangers (9-8-6, 33 points) return to Children's Mercy Park on Saturday to host Portland Timbers 2 (10-10-3, 33 points) at 7:30 p.m. CT. Tied for seventh place in the USL's Western Conference, both clubs currently occupy the last two playoff spots in the division. Tickets for the match are available via SeatGeek.com or at the stadium's east box office on gameday, and the first 500 fans in attendance will receive a free Adrian Zendejas bobblehead.


Sporting KC Academy forward Tyler Freeman has joined the U.S. U-17 Men's National Team for an international training camp featuring four games this week in San Jose, Costa Rica, where the Americans will play Concacaf rivals Mexico and Costa Rica twice each. The U.S. U-17s will face Mexico today and Sunday in addition to meeting Costa Rica on Tuesday and Friday. Freeman, 15, is the youngest player in the 23-man squad and one of four players to earn his first call-up at the U-17 level.
