Sporting Kansas City hosts FC Dallas on Saturday, October 31, 2026, at Sporting Park in Kansas City, Kansas, in the 2026 Major League Soccer regular season. A new clarification from the home club identifies 2:10 p.m. Central Daylight Time (CDT, UTC−05:00) as the actual kickoff, equivalent to 19:10 UTC on October 31. The club continues to advertise the event as a 2 p.m. CT matchup. Fans should be ready by that advertised time rather than arrive at the expected first whistle.
Result status: This is a pregame update. There is no verified final score, goal sequence or completed match report at the time of this check. The official MLS Sporting KC–FC Dallas match center is the primary reference for confirmed lineups, live events and the eventual final result.
Some archived MLS schedule data displays 00:00 UTC on Sunday, November 1, corresponding to 7 p.m. CDT on Saturday, October 31, in Kansas City. That earlier evening listing should not be confused with the home club's updated afternoon plan. Sporting announced that its Halloween home finale had been moved to a 2 p.m. CT event slot in its official schedule-change notice.
The previous version of this article used a 2:30 p.m. actual kickoff based on an earlier rendering of Sporting's match preview. On the latest check, Sporting's official match preview specifies 2 p.m. CT (2:10 kickoff), and its player availability report independently says the actual kick is 2:10 p.m. CT. These current club statements provide stronger matchday guidance than stale evening schedule data. Any subsequent matchday alteration should still be checked directly with the host club.
On October 31, Kansas City observes CDT (UTC−05:00), with the United States' switch back to standard time taking place the following day, November 1. The updated 2:10 p.m. CDT kickoff corresponds to 3:10 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT, UTC−04:00), 12:10 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time (PDT, UTC−07:00), and 7:10 p.m. Greenwich Mean Time in London (GMT, UTC+00:00), all on October 31. London already returned to GMT on October 25. The 00:00 UTC November 1 timestamp belongs to the outdated evening slot, not to this revised afternoon start.
Sporting KC and FC Dallas both list Apple TV as the official video viewing destination. FC Dallas identifies Neil Sika and Kyndra de St. Aubin for the English-language broadcast, with Sergio Ruiz and Walter Roque for Spanish-language coverage. Availability and sign-in terms can differ by territory and account, so use the current Apple TV event listing rather than assuming the same viewing arrangements everywhere.
For Kansas City-area radio coverage, Sporting lists Sports Radio 810 WHB in English and La Grande 1340 AM in Spanish, with streams via the Sporting KC app. The club names Blake Aerni and Jon Kempin on the English call, and Josue Orantes and Diego Gutierrez on the Spanish call. FC Dallas offers audio on its own app and YouTube channel, with its official match guide listing coverage from 1:30 p.m. CDT on October 31. That is a pregame broadcast time, not a separate kickoff. Sporting also points fans to its participating pub network.
The MLS Matchday 34 player status report, reinforced by Sporting's own October 31 availability update, gives the following pregame picture. For FC Dallas, defenders Nolan Norris and Shaq Moore are suspended and listed out. Sporting's preview attributes the suspensions to yellow-card accumulation from the midweek Columbus match. Forward Logan Farrington is questionable with a lower-body issue, meaning his participation has not been ruled out in the official report.
For Sporting Kansas City, the players listed out are midfielder Kwaku Agyabeng (ankle), midfielder Zorhan Bassong (hamstring), defender Or Blorian (chest), defender Diego Borges (adductor), defender Moises Mosquera (hamstring), forward Seymour Reid (hamstring), and defender Justin Reynolds (quadriceps). Midfielder Lasse Berg Johnsen is questionable with a hamstring issue. Sporting further says Agyabeng sustained the ankle injury in the October 28 match at Minnesota and will miss the club's final two games of the season. These details clarify the availability list without establishing how the coaching staff will replace the absent players.
Neither an injury status report nor a probable lineup constitutes a confirmed starting eleven. The first-choice defensive pairing for Dallas, Sporting's shape and the participation of questionable players should be assessed using official team sheets when released. A player listed questionable may still appear or be left out; no unverified recovery claim should be made before a club announcement or match lineup confirms it.
FC Dallas enters this fixture second in the Western Conference, according to the club's official pregame guide, with a 15-8-9 record and 54 points. Sporting Kansas City is 15th in the conference with six wins, 22 losses, four draws and 22 points. Each side has played 32 games; this is game 33 of the 34-match regular-season campaign.
Sporting's match preview places Dallas four points behind Western Conference leader Vancouver with two games remaining and says a victory is required for Dallas to preserve its opportunity to finish first. Whether that position is achievable also depends on other matches, so the outcome in Kansas City alone cannot determine every seed. Sporting, meanwhile, is playing its final home regular-season match in a difficult year. The home club reports a six-game winless sequence, four consecutive defeats and a 3-1 road loss at Minnesota United on October 28. Dallas comes in after a 2-0 defeat to Columbus Crew.
There are clear reasons to watch the tactical battle without assuming its outcome. Dallas forward Petar Musa has 22 league goals in 28 appearances in Sporting's pregame figures and has scored six times against Kansas City across six career meetings. Sporting forward Taylor Calheira scored in Minnesota and, according to his club, has five league goals this season. Dallas won the teams' September meeting 4-3, with Musa converting a late penalty after Calheira had scored twice. That result offers historical context, not a reliable prediction for this rematch.
One pregame question is whether Sporting can contain Dallas attacks toward Musa, especially when possession changes quickly. Another is how Dallas handles the absence of Norris and Moore in defense. Such questions concern potential matchups; they are not confirmed explanations for goals or results that have yet to occur.
The venue is Sporting Park in Kansas City, Kansas. FC Dallas uses the stadium's former name, Children's Mercy Park, in its guide, but Sporting's current match information uses Sporting Park. Ticket holders should follow the stadium directions and parking details supplied by the home club.
Sporting's newly posted Know Before You Go guide identifies a practical change for drivers: all ramps at the North 110th Street exit from Interstate 70 and a section of Village West Parkway are closed due to nearby construction. The Homestead-Miami entrance is also closed on Saturday. The club advises using Phoenix or Martinsville from Village West Parkway to enter and Phoenix or Darlington to exit, considering Parallel Parkway as an alternative, and arriving early. Traffic conditions can evolve, so the club's current parking map is the appropriate last check before travel.
For the Halloween home finale, the club advertises trick-or-treating and a costume contest on Sporting Plaza. Its guide schedules a costume contest at 12:50 p.m. CDT and a Halloween parade at 1 p.m. CDT on October 31. The match preview also mentions fan-appreciation food and merchandise promotions and a team-poster giveaway after the game, subject to availability and event conditions. Mobile tickets are required; Sporting's stadium guide says screenshots are not accepted, and it sets a clear-bag policy with restrictions on backpacks. Attendees should check the complete event guidance for gate access, parking and permitted bags.
This is an MLS regular-season game, not a playoff fixture. As of this pregame verification, there is no confirmed final score to publish. Once the match is played, consult the MLS match center for the official score, starting lineups, goals, cards, substitutions and match statistics. Sporting Kansas City and FC Dallas can supply additional club reporting afterward.
