Game Central

Game Presented by Bell Bank

After a tough two-game run on the road, the Loons return to Allianz Field with hopes to bounce back against Austin FC. Austin and Minnesota last met on the opening day of the 2024 season, when the Loons took down the Texan team at Q2 Stadium in a 2-1 road victory. In order to secure the same success this time around, the Loons will need to learn from their recent road matches and tighten things up in the back. Currently, Austin has hit a bit of a rough patch of their own, failing to win any of their last five matches. With both teams coming in hungry for points and a handful of Loons still away for international duty, Saturday's game will be another test of the next man-up mentality in Minnesota United's squad. To catch all of the action in person, purchase your ticket now at SeatGeek.com. Can't come to Allianz Field? No problem; there are plenty of ways to watch. Join your fellow faithful fans at a Loons Watch Spot for food, drinks, and a fun football experience. Stream the game with Apple TV's MLS Season Pass or listen in on 1500 ESPN.
