Atlanta United's first preseason game against Chattanooga FC will be live-streamed on Chattanooga's website, www.chattanoogafc.com.
The game will be played at 3 p.m. Saturday at Chattanooga’s Finley Stadium, which last week hosted the U.S. men’s national team in its 1-0 win over Jamaica. Chattanooga plays in the NPSL.
Ticket sales are projected to be at least 5,000.
This will be the first chance for Atlanta United supporters to see the team in action. The roster includes three Designated Players, Hector Villalba, Miguel Almiron and Josef Martinez, native Alec Kann and Mark Bloom, draft picks Miles Robinson, Julian Gressel and Andre Wheeler-Ominu, Homegrown Players Andrew Carleton and Chris Gosling, and MLS veteran Michael Parkhurst, Jeff Larentowicz and Jacob Peterson, among others.
The MLS team spent the previous two weeks training in Bradenton, Fla. It will train in Marietta this week on the fields at its under-construction headquarters.
The preseason games against Columbus, Seattle and Charleston will also be live-streamed. More details on that are forthcoming.
