Jackson County will task a group of “business leaders, developers and community stakeholders” to envision the future of the Truman Sports Complex after the Kansas City Chiefs’ and Royals’ stadium leases expire in 2031.

KC2026 anunció los días de operación y detalles clave del FIFA Fan Festival Kansas City, la celebración gratuita en toda la ciudad planificada junto con la Copa Mundial de la FIFA 2026.

With the trailblazing Current stadium, women's soccer staked its claim as a vital part of Kansas City’s identity. It's a central reason why this city will host the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and why the United States gets taken seriously in soccer at all. But after centuries of prejudice, unequal funding and outright bans, fans don't take this dominance for granted.

A new report finds that states with legalized sports betting aren’t doing enough to protect people from gambling trouble.

The Chiefs' star tight end delayed his rumored retirement with a one-year deal to return in the works, as the team also picks up this year's Super Bowl MVP from Seattle.

If “hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup” were a sport in and of itself, these past few months have shown that perhaps Kansas City wants this more than other cities. Plus: Federal funding woes and other issues facing the tournament with 100 days to go.
