KC Current chases NWSL home win record vs. Thorns

Kansas City Current is set to host Portland Thorns at CPKC Stadium on Sunday at noon CT, aiming for a historic achievement. The Current are on the cusp of setting an NWSL record with a potential ninth consecutive regular season home victory, extending their impressive 21-match unbeaten streak at their home ground.

This encounter marks the second meeting between the two teams in 2026. Portland Thorns currently sit atop the league standings with 23 points, while Kansas City holds sixth place with 15 points. The Current have a history of success at CPKC Stadium, boasting an 18-0-3 record during their current unbeaten run and having won eight straight regular season home matches.

The previous matchup on March 28 resulted in a 2-0 win for Portland. However, Kansas City secured a 3-1 victory against the Thorns at CPKC Stadium on March 15, 2025, setting the stage for a decisive rematch. This game carries significant weight for both Kansas City's home streak and Portland's first-place standing.

The Current are coming off a 2-1 defeat against Angel City FC on Wednesday. Despite this recent loss, Kansas City looks to its home scoring leader, Temwa Chawinga, who has netted 25 regular season goals at CPKC Stadium. Portland's Sophia Wilson brings 50 regular season goal contributions in 63 matches.

Sunday's match will also be celebrated as Military Appreciation Day, featuring a Challenge Coin giveaway for the first 3,000 fans. The game will be nationally broadcast on CBS and available on the World Feed, with radio coverage on 90.9 The Bridge.
