The Southern California rivalry heats up this Saturday night as LAFC travels to Snapdragon Stadium to face San Diego FC in a highly anticipated MLS showdown. Kickoff is set for 9:30 p.m. ET, and you can catch all the action live on Apple TV.

San Diego FC enters the match with a 3-5-2 record (11 points), sitting 11th in the Western Conference. Despite an eight-game winless streak and five consecutive MLS losses, the expansion side has history on its side in this derby. San Diego went 2-0 against LAFC in 2025, including a thrilling 3-2 win at Snapdragon Stadium and a 2-1 victory at BMO Stadium. Forward Anders Dreyer leads the attack with five goals and four assists, while Marcus Ingvartsen adds five goals and two assists of his own.

LAFC, meanwhile, comes in with a much stronger 6-2-2 record, good for third place in the West. The Black & Gold boast one of the league's stingiest defenses, allowing just six goals through 10 MLS matches. However, they face a grueling schedule after beating Toluca 2-1 in the first leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup semifinal on Wednesday—meaning rotation could be key. Star winger Denis Bouanga may return to the starting lineup after missing that match due to suspension, but LAFC's injury report lists Amin Boudri and Igor Jesus as out.

This is the kind of rivalry match that defines a season—don't miss a minute of the action.
