Nearly a month since their last home game, Sporting Jax men's soccer is back at home against a familiar opponent for Jacksonville soccer fans.
The Sporting Jax men face off against Indy Eleven in a USL Championship men's soccer match, scheduled for 7 p.m. on Saturday, August 15 at Hodges Stadium, University of North Florida. This will be the first home game for Sporting Jax since July 18.

Indy Eleven (6-7-4) aims to secure their eighth and final playoff berth in the USL Championship Eastern Conference. Their leading goal scorer is Bruno Rendon, who has netted seven goals. This match will also mark a return for Indy Eleven midfielder Jack Blake, a former Jacksonville player who earned the North American Soccer League young player of the year award in 2017 while playing for the Jacksonville Armada.
