Sacramento Republic FC will come home Saturday to face Memphis 901 FC on State Fair Night at Heart Health Park.

A ticket to the game will include free admission to the California State Fair. Tickets are available starting at $16 at sacrepublicfc.com. Gates open at 6:30 p.m. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m.

The Republic (9-2-7) is tied for first place in the USL Championship Western Conference standings with 34 points. Memphis (8-4-5) is tied for fourth in the Eastern Conference with 29 points. This is the first time the clubs have met since Memphis joined the league in 2019.

Republic goalkeeper Danny Vitiello sits atop the Golden Glove leaderboard after helping Sacramento earn a point with a 0-0 draw against Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC last weekend.

Those who can’t make it to the game can watch on Fox 40, Fox40.com, the Fox40 News Mobile App or ESPN+. Rock & Brews will host pregame and postgame parties.
