Buy your Sporting Kansas City tickets with TicketSmarter and catch every moment of MLS action live! Sporting KC is one of Major League Soccer’s original clubs, launching in 1996 as the Kansas City Wizards before rebranding to Sporting Kansas City in 2011. Competing in the Western Conference, the club has built a tradition of success with two MLS Cup championships (2000, 2013), a Supporters’ Shield (2000) and four Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup titles (2004, 2012, 2015, 2017).

Sporting KC plays its home matches at Children’s Mercy Park, a state-of-the-art, soccer-specific stadium that opened in 2011. Located in Kansas City, Kansas, the venue is widely regarded as one of the premier soccer stadiums in North America, featuring a steep seating bowl that keeps fans close to the pitch and amplifies the matchday energy. The stadium regularly hosts international friendlies, Concacaf competitions and U.S. Men’s and Women’s National Team matches in addition to MLS play.

The club has remained competitive in recent seasons, blending experienced veterans with emerging young talent. Sporting KC continues to focus on player development through its academy system while adding impactful signings to stay in the playoff race in the Western Conference. The team’s fast-paced style and commitment to possession-based soccer have made them a consistent contender in MLS.

Few atmospheres in American soccer compare to a match in Kansas City. Sporting’s passionate supporters — led by The Cauldron — create one of the loudest environments in the league. The Cauldron supporters’ section is known for nonstop chanting, coordinated tifos and high-energy support from kickoff to the final whistle. Children’s Mercy Park has long been considered one of the toughest places for visiting teams to play.

Throughout club history, standout players such as Matt Besler, Graham Zusi, Jimmy Nielsen and Dom Dwyer have helped define the Sporting KC identity. Today’s squad continues that tradition, representing Kansas City with pride while chasing postseason success.
