Kansas City Current return to CPKC Stadium on Saturday, May 30 for a 12:30 p.m. CT kickoff against Boston Legacy FC—followed by Pride Day celebrations, an auction benefitting LGBTQ+ parents, and a packed broadcast and radio lineup.
Kansas City knows what it’s getting on Saturday: a home match with stakes, a familiar kind of momentum, and—this time—a Pride Day built into the day itself.
The Kansas City Current (6-0-5. 18 pts. 6th place) return to CPKC Stadium on Saturday. May 30. for the final regular season match before the summer break. They host NWSL expansion side Boston Legacy FC (2-6-3, 9 pts., 14th place) for the first-ever meeting between the clubs. Kickoff is set for 12:30 p.m. CT, with limited tickets available for purchase HERE.
There’s plenty of ways to catch the match. It will broadcast on ION with JP Dellacamera and McCall Zerboni calling the action. and on the World Feed with Joe Malfa and Celia Jimenez. In Kansas City. fans can watch a simulcast on The Spot – Kansas City 38. with a pregame show—KC Current Matchday—starting at noon CT. The game is also available to listeners on 90.9 The Bridge with Dave Borchardt and Jillian Carroll Letrinko. And for those following from elsewhere. the match will be available on the KC Current App in English. Spanish and Portuguese.
The day’s spotlight goes beyond soccer. Saturday’s match is the club’s annual Pride Day, presented by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City. The first 5,000 fans in attendance will receive an exclusive Pride-themed cooling towel courtesy of the Current and Blue KC. Fans will also be able to access exclusive Pride-themed merchandise at the KC Current Team Store.
The on-field story arriving at CPKC Stadium is just as compelling. The Current are unbeaten in their last seven matches against NWSL newcomers. winning all four meetings with Bay FC and the Utah Royals in 2024. and Kansas City has never lost a home match against a league newcomer. They’re also coming off a 3-1 win over top-of-the-table Portland Thorns on May 24. with goals from midfielder Lo’eau LaBonta (first of the year). forward Temwa Chawinga (sixth of the year) and forward Haley Hopkins (second of the year).
That victory came with a milestone of its own: on May 24. the Current became the first team in NWSL history to win nine consecutive regular season home games. It also extended Kansas City’s regular season home unbeaten streak to 22 straight games. tying the NWSL record first set by Seattle in 2014-15. Fourteen of the Current’s 19 wins in their home unbeaten run (19-0-3) have been by a margin of two or more goals.
The Current’s momentum is being driven by players who have been producing in a steady, measurable way. Since both players entered the NWSL in 2024. no active player has recorded more regular season assists than midfielder Croix Bethune (15). and no active player has scored more regular season goals than Chawinga (41). Defender Izzy Rodriguez (8) has provided the most regular season assists since the start of the 2025 season.
At CPKC Stadium, Chawinga’s presence is especially hard to ignore. She has been involved in at least one goal in 23 of her 28 regular season matches at CPKC Stadium (25 goals. 6 assists). and she has scored at least once in 20 of those 28 regular season home games. Entering Week 10. she ranks third on the Golden Boot leaderboard with six goals and two assists. with all six of her goals coming in a four-match span.
Behind her, goalkeeping has continued to be a steady pillar. Lorena. who earned 25 regular season wins for one club in the Current’s last game on May 24. became the 14th goalkeeper in NWSL history to reach that number. Earlier this month, she became the 14th goalkeeper in league history to reach 15 regular season shutouts with one team.
There’s also a player milestone in the air. Forward Michelle Cooper is 27 minutes away from reaching 5,000 regular season career minutes, all for Kansas City, which would make her the sixth player in club history to hit that milestone.
Off the field, Saturday isn’t a fully quiet day either. Several Current players will be in action during the upcoming FIFA international window. Bethune, Cooper and forward/midfielder Ally Sentnor will play with the U.S. Women’s National Team when it faces Lorena and Brazil for two high-profile friendlies. Forward Kyra Carusa will be with Ireland for two group stage matches to conclude its World Cup European qualifying campaign. and midfielder Rocky Rodríguez will play with Costa Rica for a pair of friendlies. Defender Katie Scott will participate in a training camp and matches with the U.S. Under-20 National Team.
In terms of availability, the Current list Alana Cook (SEI-Knee), Debinha de Oliveira (D-45), Vanessa DiBernardo (Maternity Leave), Clare Gagne (SEI-Head), Mary Long (D-45) and Gianna Paul (Thigh) as out. There are no players listed as questionable, and the team reports no international duty.
The Pride Day experience extends beyond match kickoff. The KC Current is hosting an online auction featuring game-worn. limited-edition autographed Pride kits from the club’s Pride Day match. Proceeds will benefit Modern Family Alliance—a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting LGBTQ+ parents. their children and those on the path to parenthood—in partnership with the United Way of Greater Kansas City. the KC Current’s official charity partner. The auction will run through 7:00 p.m. CT on Sunday, June 7, and can be found HERE.
Looking ahead, the schedule also brings a shift for a later date. The Kansas City Current’s match against Denver Summit FC on Friday. July 3—originally at Centennial Stadium in Centennial. Colo.—has been moved to Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City. Colo. The match still begins at 8:30 p.m. CT (7:30 p.m. MT).
