MLS First Kick Announced

The full slate of games for MLS Week 1 is now available (below), as is the fact that we're switching our start times to 7:30 p.m. CT next year. Our first match will come Saturday, March 21, 2009 against Toronto FC at the CAB at 7:30 p.m. Single-game tickets won't go on sale until 2009, so the only way to guarantee a ticket to the opener against Mo Johnston's side will be with season tickets. Purchase them at (913) 387-3400 or visit this page at kcwizards.com for more information. Help us sell out all the matches next year!

Our second game comes on Saturday, March 28, 2009 at the Colorado Rapids at 8:30 p.m. CT.
