Episode Description

Atlanta Soccer Tonight kicks off a special season preview edition as Atlanta United opens its 10th campaign this weekend in Cincinnati. Jason Longshore is joined in studio by Abe Gordon, Madison Crews, Jon Nelson, and Jarrett Smith to lay out the non-negotiables for 2026: heart, resilience, structure, and the relentless principles of a Tata Martino team.

The crew also goes around Major League Soccer to assess how contenders like Inter Miami are reloading, where Cincinnati fits as the Week 1 measuring stick, and what tier Atlanta belongs in as the season begins.

Plus, Mike Conti calls in to reflect on Atlanta’s decade of unforgettable moments, the World Cup coming to Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and what 2026 could mean for the future of MLS in this market.

Hour 1 sets the table for a defining season — and the next chapter of Atlanta United.
