The new kits are finally here, as new faces including Gunnar Studenhofft, Aleksandar Vukovic and Chituru Odunze showed off Phoenix Rising's 2026 threads in an intrasquad friendly.

The older squad players, led by assistant coach Darnell King, went on to win 2-0 in the match. However, the main headline was winger Damian Rivera being removed in the first half due to injury.

So how is progress coming along ahead of the USL Championship kickoff?

Join Owain Evans and Rees Goodall for the latest on Phoenix Rising’s preseason.
