Detroit City FC will return to Keyworth Stadium for a significant Eastern Conference match against Rhode Island FC. The game is scheduled for 4:00 PM EDT and will be broadcast nationally on CBS, as well as aired on SiriusXM FC.

Detroit enters the match following a midweek 1-0 loss to Hartford Athletic in Connecticut. Despite controlling possession throughout the game, Detroit struggled to penetrate Hartford's defense, with the only goal coming from Hartford in the 23rd minute.

In recent matches, Detroit City has faced challenges, securing only two points out of a possible fifteen in their last five games. All three losses were by a 1-0 scoreline.

This upcoming match marks Detroit City's first appearance on network television via CBS.

Rhode Island FC has been performing strongly, earning thirteen points out of a possible fifteen in their last five matches. Their only dropped point was from a 3-3 draw against Indy Eleven.

Last weekend, Rhode Island secured another home victory with a 2-1 win over North Carolina FC. After trailing at the 30-minute mark, second-half goals from Mark Doyle and Zachary Herivaux ensured Rhode Island claimed all three points.

Both teams are currently tied at 28 points in the Eastern Conference standings. Detroit City holds the tiebreaker and is positioned in sixth place.

The previous encounter between these two teams occurred in early June in Rhode Island, where Detroit City won 2-0. Maxi Rodriguez scored just before halftime after an impressive sequence of passes, and Victor Bezerra added another goal in the 64th minute.

Detroit City will host another midweek match at Keyworth this Wednesday against Pittsburgh Riverhounds, with kickoff set for 7 p.m. Tickets for all Detroit City matches are available at www.detcityfc.com/tickets.
