Captain Matt Besler talks early kickoff in Orlando and Sporting's efforts to eliminate racism

Major League Soccer announced Wednesday the full match schedule and broadcast details for the historic MLS is Back Tournament in Disney World. Sporting Kansas City will kick off their Group D campaign on July 12 against rivals Minnesota United FC before facing the Colorado Rapids on July 17 and Real Salt Lake on July 22, with all three games shown live nationally on ESPN, ESPN Deportes and the ESPN app.

Sporting’s group stage schedule comes with a unique quirk, as the club will meet RSL in an 8 a.m. CT kickoff, the earliest start to a game in club history.
