Sporting KC, currently sitting 15th in the MLS standings with 14 points after 18 games, is gearing up for the regular season stage of the 2026 MLS. The team's recent form has been a cause for concern, with a string of disappointing results that have seen them struggle to find consistency. In their last five games, Sporting KC has shown glimpses of promise, but ultimately fallen short. A 2-1 win over Minnesota United was a rare bright spot, but it was tempered by losses to Houston Dynamo and Los Angeles FC, who both secured convincing victories. A 3-2 defeat at the hands of St. Louis City was another setback, while a 1-2 loss to New York RB highlighted the team's continued struggles. As Sporting KC prepares for the regular season stage, they will be looking to regroup and refocus. With a mix of experienced players and young talent, the team has the potential to turn their season around. However, they will need to address their defensive vulnerabilities and find a more consistent attacking rhythm if they are to climb the standings. The team's manager will be looking to make the most of the upcoming games, using the opportunity to experiment with different formations and tactics. With the regular season stage now underway, Sporting KC will be eager to put their recent struggles behind them and start building momentum.Colorado Rapids
