The Kansas City Current will host the North Carolina Courage at CPKC Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., on Saturday, Aug. 29, with kickoff set for 5:30 p.m. CT. The match will air nationally on ION and gives Kansas City a chance to keep its 27-match regular-season home unbeaten run intact.
For fans in Kansas City, the game will also be simulcast on The Spot – Kansas City 38, with KC Current Matchday beginning at 4:30 p.m. CT on the same channel. The match will also be available on the World Feed and on the KC Current App in English, Spanish and Portuguese, while Dave Borchardt and Sarah Gonzalez will call the game on 90.9 The Bridge.
The timing matters because Kansas City has never lost a regular-season home match against North Carolina, going 4-0-2 in the series at home and keeping clean sheets in all four wins at CPKC Stadium since the venue opened in 2024. The clubs last met on May 2 in North Carolina, when Kansas City won 2-1 after Croix Bethune scored in the eighth minute and then assisted Michelle Cooper’s winner 15 minutes later.
That edge at home, though, meets a standings mismatch that makes this one harder to read than the record suggests. Kansas City enters at 9-8-4 with 31 points in seventh place, while North Carolina comes in at 11-7-3 with 36 points in fifth. Bethune, who is tied for first in the league with nine assists, remains central to the Current’s attack, and Lo’eau LaBonta is 43 regular-season minutes shy of 10,000 for one club after already reaching 15,000 minutes and 200 appearances earlier this season.
The match is also being staged as Brain Health Awareness Night with The University of Kansas Health System, which gives Saturday’s crowd more than a game to follow before kickoff. Katie Scott’s name will also be in the broader spotlight after she was selected to the U.S. Under-20 Women’s National Team roster for the 2026 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Poland, a reminder that Kansas City’s roster news keeps moving even as the club protects a home streak that has lasted through every regular-season visit from North Carolina. The next hard deadline is simple: 5:30 p.m. CT on Aug. 29, when the Current will learn whether home still means the same thing against this opponent.
