==Broadcasting==
From 2023, every Sporting Kansas City match is available via [[MLS Season Pass]] on the [[Apple TV app]].

Prior to 2017 matches were broadcast in [[HDTV|high definition]] on [[KMCI-TV]] (except for nationally broadcast matches). The play-by-play announcer was [[WHB]] 810AM 'Border Patrol' host Nate Bukaty, who began broadcasting for the team in the 2015 season. Former Sporting Kansas City goalkeeper [[Andy Gruenebaum]] provided color commentary following his retirement after the 2014 season. Color commentary was covered by Jake Yadrich through the 2013 season, after which he transitioned to be the lead analyst on the sidelines during games. Morning reporter Kacie McDonnell of [[KSHB-TV]], an NBC affiliate and KMCI-TV's sister station, served as the network host of the pregame and postgame shows.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sportingkc.com/broadcast-information|title=Broadcast Information|work=Sporting Kansas City|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160226101009/http://www.sportingkc.com/broadcast-information|archive-date=February 26, 2016|access-date=February 15, 2016}}</ref>
