2024 Preseason Match Thread: Atlanta United vs CF Montreal
The Five Stripes’ preseason adventure has taken them west, east, and now south to Tampa, Florida where they will remain for the next two friendlies on the docket, the first of which kicks off this afternoon against a team happier than almost any other to be in the Sunshine State, CF Montreal.
Atlanta’s first MLS opponent of preseason will also be their first to be played behind closed doors, but the match will still be streamed online for those of us who can’t go on without a Wednesday afternoon fix of preseason soccer. If you needed another reason to tune in, may I point out the most recent signing for the Québécois who goes by the name of Josef Martinez.
The match will be streamed online at atlutd.com/live for certain, and potentially on the team’s YouTube channel, X, Facebook and Twitch accounts. It will not follow the typical 90 minute format but instead be split into four 30 minute periods, where two squads will each get an hour of action as they work to build up fitness levels.
Kickoff is slated for 4:00 PM from St. Petersburg, Florida for another step forward towards the season opener on February 24th. As always, join in the discussion using the comment section below as your match thread for all the action.

Seahawks Reveal Uniform Combination For Week 14 at Atlanta
The Seahawks will travel to Atlanta to take on the 4-8 Falcons at Mercedes Benz Stadium in Week 14. The team will wear their white jerseys and pants combination as they aim to win their 10th game of the season.
The all-white uniform combination is one of the team’s least commonly worn road uniform combinations as they have only been worn 21 times since the team debuted them during the 2012 season. Sunday will be the fourth time since the beginning of the 2024 season that these uniforms will be seen in action as they were worn twice last season and once during this season so far. The Seahawks wore this set of uniforms in the Week 6 win at Jacksonville in October.

Walmart and Wing launches speedy drone delivery service at 6 metro Atlanta stores
Live in metro Atlanta? Your next delivery from Walmart may be coming from the sky.
The retailer and automated drone company Wing is launching a new delivery system in metro Atlanta, just in time for the busy holiday shopping period.
Products eligible for the drone delivery include groceries, gifts, household goods, and over-the-counter medicine, the company announced.
Eligible customers can place orders through the Wing app and confirm the delivery location on their property. Once the package is loaded, the drones fly at around 60 mph about 150 feet off the ground. When the drone arrives at the drop-off location, it lowers the package to the ground without any assistance.
The companies estimate that flight delivery time will be about five minutes or less on average.
“Atlanta is a powerhouse in aviation, and we’re bringing the same spirit of speed and efficiency to thousands of Walmart customers across the Metro just in time for the busiest season of the year,” said Heather Rivera, Chief Business Officer at Wing. “This launch is a critical next step in our significant expansion, turning drone delivery from novelty to norm as residents make drone delivery part of their everyday shopping.”
Starting on Wednesday, the service will be available from six Walmart stores around the area:
- Walmart Supercenter #575, 12182 GA-92, Woodstock, GA 30188
- Walmart Supercenter #2475, 1436 Dogwood Dr SE, Conyers, GA 30013
- Walmart Supercenter #3403, 3615 Charles Hardy Pkwy, Dallas, GA 30157
- Walmart Supercenter #618, 4166 Jimmy Lee Smith Pkwy, Hiram, GA 30141
- Walmart Supercenter #3201, 135 Willow Ln, McDonough, GA 30253
- Walmart Supercenter #5252, 4221 Atlanta Hwy, Loganville, GA 30052
Walmart and Wing first launched the partnership in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The company is also set to expand its drone deliveries to Houston, Tampa, Orlando, and Charlotte.
You can check your eligibility for the service and download the app at wing.com/walmart.
