How to watch today's San Diego vs LAFC MLS game: Live stream, TV channel, and start time

LAFC makes the short trip down to San Diego this Saturday for a historic first-ever clash with MLS newcomers at Snapdragon Stadium.

San Diego’s dream start to life in Major League Soccer took a hit last weekend as they suffered a 2-1 setback against Austin FC. Before that, the expansion side had shown resilience, clawing back four points from losing positions in their previous two outings, but their unbeaten run came to an end.

LAFC enters this contest sitting third in the Western Conference with nine points from five matches (3W-2L-0D), while San Diego FC trails just behind in fourth with eight points (2W-1L-2D). The Black & Gold have found the net six times while conceding the same amount, whereas San Diego has scored seven and shipped four.
