Houston Dynamo FC to host second annual Kick Cancer Night

HOUSTON (Aug. 26, 2026) – Houston Dynamo FC will host their second annual Kick Cancer Night, presented by The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, at Shell Energy Stadium on Saturday, Aug. 29, when they host the San Jose Earthquakes at 7:30 p.m. CT.

The Dynamo will transform the stadium in support of UT MD Anderson’s mission to end cancer through exclusive pregame programming and concourse activations. Dynamic in-stadium takeovers include survivor cam live hits and fan-submitted photos featuring customizable "I Kick Cancer for" signs for display on the stadium videoboard. 

As part of the inspiring evening, Dynamo players and local artists have worked together leading up to the match on a "Cleats for a Cause" project to design customized and personalized cleats to honor family members and close friends who have been diagnosed with cancer. The project is a celebration for their loved ones and represents their commitment to kicking cancer on the field in their honor. 

The cleats will be worn by the players during the San Jose Earthquakes match, giving fans the opportunity to view the unique designs and stories behind them, in action. 

Additionally, fans are encouraged to arrive early for a special cooling scarf gate giveaway while supplies last.
