2023 MLS Playoffs
2023 Season Ticket Member Playoff Information
Sporting continues to push towards securing a spot in the Audi 2023 MLS Cup Playoffs! With one match remaining, Sporting Kansas City heads into Decision Day with a chance to clinch a spot in the 2023 MLS Cup Playoffs. A win over Minnesota United, along with a draw or loss by either the Portland Timbers or San Jose Earthquakes will send Sporting to the post season. As a Season Ticket Member we wanted to make sure you had all playoff ticket information and pricing for all potential home playoff matches at Children’s Mercy Park.
As a Season Ticket Member, we’ve reserved your regular season seat location for all four potential home playoff matches (Wild Card Round, First Round, Conference Semifinals, and Conference Final). Playoff tickets will be charged on a ‘Pay-As-We-Play’ basis, meaning that you don’t pay for your playoff tickets until Sporting has clinched a home playoff match.
Following the 2023 Playoffs format, if Sporting Kansas City were to finish the regular season in eight seed or higher, Sporting would be guaranteed to host a home Playoff match.
If Sporting finishes eighth or ninth place of the western conference, Sporting would play in a Wild Card match Oct. 25-26. If Sporting advances, Round one, a best of three series, would take place between Oct. 28 – Nov. 12.
View the image below to learn the potential playoffs dates which would span three months (October, November and December.)

‘Pay As We Play’ means that your credit card will not be charged until Sporting has clinched and confirmed a home playoff date.
