Sporting Kansas City vs San Jose Earthquakes tickets MLS

The recent history between these two sides told its own story ahead of this MLS meeting: San Jose Earthquakes had already got the better of Sporting Kansas City twice earlier in the same campaign, a 3-0 win at PayPal Park in February and a 3-1 result in April. That backdrop framed the encounter at Children's Mercy Park in Kansas City, played on Saturday 11 April 2026 at 7.30pm. Sporting arrived on the back of three straight defeats, while their visitors came in winless across their previous four, so both were chasing a change of fortune under the evening lights. With familiarity fresh from those earlier games, the hosts had every reason to make this reunion a different affair.
