SAN JOSE, Calif. – The most iconic rivalry in Major League Soccer returns as the San Jose Earthquakes will host the LA Galaxy in the 103rd California Clasico presented by El Camino Health on Saturday, June 28, at Stanford Stadium, highlighted by a 1,000-drone light show after the match courtesy of Sky Elements.

In addition to the Postgame Drone Show, which will be the first ever to light up the sky over the renowned South Bay venue, the festivities will include a pregame Fan Fest and commemorative halftime performance. Kickoff is slated for 7:30 p.m. PT and will be broadcast globally on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV, as well as via local radio KSFO 810 AM (English) and 1370 AM La Kaliente (Spanish).

Designed as a visual tribute to the Fourth of July, the California Clasico and the Earthquakes’ passionate fanbase, the custom drone show will celebrate America’s Birthday and iconic moments throughout the rivalry, which stretches all the way back to 1996 and MLS’ inaugural season. With a combination of high-fidelity animations, precise choreography and dynamic storytelling, Sky Elements will bring soccer and showmanship together in one unforgettable post-match experience.

The annual California Clasico will be played at Stanford Stadium for the 12th time since the game first came to The Farm in 2012, with last year’s match commemorating the club’s 50th anniversary drawing more than 40,000 fans once again.
