Gameday — Spirit at Kansas City, 5 p.m. on ESPN

National TV, top-four stakes

Kick is here. The Spirit visit the Kansas City Current today — 5 p.m. ET at CPKC Stadium, nationally on ESPN (also ESPN Deportes). Confirm XI and any late availability on the club channels.

Washington enters 3rd on 52 points; Kansas City sits 4th on 47 and already clinched a 2026 playoff berth. Top four host a quarterfinal. The Current’s home form is a known problem — treat CPKC as a true road test, not a seed padded with moral victories.

We will lock the final when the whistle goes. Until then: watch window, travel legs, and one point of seed math.

The Spirit page is the hub.
