How to watch today's Atlanta United vs New York City FC MLS game: Live stream, TV channel, and start time

Atlanta United will aim to end a four-match MLS winless skid when they welcome New York City FC to Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Saturday.

The Five Stripes kicked off their 2025 season with a 3-2 win over CF Montreal, but maintaining consistency over 90 minutes has been a challenge. Their attack showed signs of life in a 2-2 draw with Cincinnati, yet closing out matches remains an issue—Atlanta has dropped five points from winning positions in their last two outings.

NYCFC, meanwhile, held their ground in a scoreless draw against Columbus, securing their first clean sheet of the season despite failing to register a single shot on target. Pascal Jansen’s side has yet to win away in MLS, extending their road drought to four matches dating back to last year. The Boys in Blue have also struggled offensively on the road, failing to score in three of their last four away fixtures.
