The preseason matchup between our hometown Birmingham Legion FC versus Major League Soccer (MLS) powerhouse Atlanta United has been moved from 2:00PM to 4:00PM at Protective Stadium.

The Legion made the change Friday morning to avoid a line of storms that are expected to hit Birmingham around Saturday morning and early Saturday afternoon.
