Los Angeles FC's Son Heung-min will face New York City FC at Citi Field in Queens at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 17. NYCFC is designating the match 'AAPI Night' to honor Asian American and Pacific Islander residents. The match will be broadcast on Apple TV.
Los Angeles FC (LAFC), the team Son Heung-min plays for, will take on New York City FC (NYCFC) at Citi Field in Queens at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 17. It is the only date this year on which fans in the New York area can see Son play in person.
The match was originally scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 4, but has been moved up to Saturday, Oct. 17. With the shift from a weeknight to a weekend evening, it has actually become easier for fans to attend.
NYCFC has designated the night 'AAPI Night.' It is a club event honoring Asian American and Pacific Islander residents and one of the club's themed nights during the season. In the same way, the club will hold 'Pride Night' for the Oct. 28 match against Atlanta and 'Day of the Dead/Fan Appreciation Night' for the Oct. 31 match against Montreal.
How to Get There and How to Watch
Citi Field is right outside the Mets-Willets Point station on the No. 7 subway line. The Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) Port Washington Branch also stops at a station of the same name. Express service on the 7 line is usually increased before and after games, but it is safer to check service information before you leave on the day.
Tickets are on sale on the NYCFC website. The match will be broadcast on Apple TV. Beginning this year, every Major League Soccer match is included with an Apple TV subscription, so there is no need to buy a separate Season Pass.
NYCFC's new home stadium, Etihad Park, is under construction across from Citi Field and is scheduled to open in July 2027. Until then, home games will be split between Yankee Stadium and Citi Field.
