Real Salt Lake vs. St. Louis CITY SC: Kickoff, Apple TV and Player Status

Updated October 24, 2026. Real Salt Lake hosts St. Louis CITY SC in the 2026 MLS regular season at America First Field in Sandy, Utah. The club’s matchday guide lists kickoff for Saturday, October 24, at 7:30 p.m. Mountain Time. For that date, the venue is on Mountain Daylight Time (MDT, UTC−06:00), so the same start is Sunday, October 25, at 01:30 UTC. RSL lists the match on Apple TV and is promoting the evening as Halloween Night.

Real Salt Lake vs. St. Louis CITY SC: match details

RSL’s official matchday guide identifies St. Louis CITY SC as the opponent, names America First Field, gives the 7:30 p.m. MT start, and lists Apple TV. The guide also names Mike Watts and Marcelo Balboa for the English-language call and Oscar Salazar for the Spanish-language call. The MLS match page identifies both clubs.

Why the UTC date is October 25

At the stadium, the match is a Saturday evening event on October 24. UTC is six hours ahead of Sandy’s clock on this date, which carries the time past midnight: 7:30 p.m. on October 24 in Sandy converts to 01:30 UTC on October 25. A calendar set to UTC may therefore display Sunday even though the kickoff at America First Field is on Saturday.

RSL’s guide uses the general abbreviation “MT.” The date-specific abbreviation is MDT because daylight saving time is still in effect in Sandy on October 24. The National Institute of Standards and Technology says U.S. daylight saving time in 2026 runs through November 1 at 2 a.m. local time. NIST’s time-zone reference gives Mountain Daylight Time as UTC−06:00. The standard-time offset of UTC−07:00 should not be used for this October kickoff.

MLS player availability before kickoff

The MLS Matchday 32 player status report lists the following players for the Saturday, October 24 slate. “Out” is the report’s designation; players marked “Questionable” are not confirmed absences.

This is a player-status report, not a starting-lineup announcement. It does not establish whether either questionable player will start or appear, and the final XI should be checked on the official match listing closer to kickoff. The league’s disciplinary summary, which is marked “as of October 20,” does not list an RSL or St. Louis player among the suspensions scheduled for October 24. It separately identifies players from both clubs who were one caution away from a suspension; that warning is not itself a match ban. Recheck the league’s current report for any later update.

Recent form and the stakes of the fixture

Real Salt Lake enters the home match after a 3–1 road win over Sporting Kansas City on October 17. In its official recap, RSL reported that Morgan Guilavogui scored twice and Sergi Solans added the other goal. The club’s subsequent preview described the result as its first road win in a 13-match, seven-month stretch. That is recent context, not a prediction of what will happen against St. Louis.

RSL’s match preview also summarizes St. Louis CITY SC’s recent week: the visitors lost 3–2 at Minnesota after leading 2–0, then won the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup title after a scoreless 120 minutes and a 5–3 shootout tiebreak on Wednesday. The two teams therefore arrive with different recent results and a consequential regular-season fixture, but neither result guarantees how this match will unfold.

How to watch Real Salt Lake vs. St. Louis

RSL’s fixture-specific guide lists Apple TV. Viewers should search for the Real Salt Lake–St. Louis CITY SC match and compare the displayed kickoff against the time zone on their device. In a Sandy-based listing, expect Saturday, October 24, at 7:30 p.m. MDT; a UTC calendar should show Sunday, October 25, at 01:30 UTC. The guide lists the English and Spanish commentators, but does not specify a subscription tier or separate regional channel, so this article does not infer either.

If a calendar, search result, or viewing app shows a different start, the club’s matchday guide is the fixture-specific reference for the listed venue time and Apple TV coverage. Check the official MLS match page for lineups and any matchday changes as kickoff approaches.

Halloween Night at America First Field

RSL is marketing the October 24 home date as Halloween Night. The club’s single-game ticket page invites fans to wear costumes for a pregame costume contest. Its short listing confirms the promotion but does not spell out all participation rules, judging details, contest timing, or prizes. Fans interested in entering should consult the club’s current event instructions rather than assume those details.

For the essential pre-match check, use the venue date and Sandy time when attending in person, or the October 25 UTC timestamp for an international calendar. Confirm Apple TV’s event listing, review the latest MLS player status and lineup information, and check RSL’s ticket page for any updated Halloween Night instructions.
