PREVIEW
Phoenix Rising FC returns to 38th and Washington to celebrate International Night, hosting Sacramento Republic FC for its first 7:30 p.m. (PT) home kickoff of 2026 on Saturday, May 30, at Phoenix Rising Stadium. The match will air on AZFS, ESPN+, Rising Radio (English) and 90MasRising (Spanish).
Rising enters the weekend looking to respond after a road loss to the unbeaten Tampa Bay Rowdies, aiming to flip the script back in front of its home crowd and bounce back from its first league defeat since April 4. In the Western Conference standings, Sacramento Republic and Rising sit level on 13 points, with the visitors in 6th place, just ahead of Rising in 7th, adding even more weight to a tightly contested matchup where movement feels inevitable once the final whistle blows.
“We just need to reset,” Rising Head Coach Pa-Modou Kah said. “Bring what makes us special in front of our home crowd. That’s intensity, playing on the front foot from minute one and playing football the way we know we can.”
