When the New York Red Bulls and Sporting Kansas City met last week, they had both already clinched playoff spots, but they didn’t know they’d be playing a rematch a week later. New York had to get a win in Kansas City to ensure that this knockout stage match would be at home, and they got that win, setting up a match at Red Bull Arena on Thursday (8 p.m. ET, ESPN2).
New York Red Bulls vs. Sporting KC live stream: How to watch the MLS Cup Playoffs online
Rematch time!


Thierry Henry sat out last week’s game, but he’s expected to start on Thursday night. If the Red Bulls lose, it’ll be his last game with the team, and possibly his last game in professional soccer. Andy Gruenebaum, Benny Feilhaber and Juliao are all listed as questionable, but should be available for KC.
If you live in the United States, the Watch ESPN app is the place to watch the match online. Because the game is on both ESPN2 and ESPN Deportes, there will be English and Spanish streams available on that service. However, unfortunately, there is no ESPN3 stream of the game, so you will have to be a TV subscriber to watch.
In Canada, TSN will be carrying the match. You can find listings for other countries at Live Soccer TV.
