New Zealand international Reid will now link-up with his new team-mates ahead of the upcoming MLS campaign which kicks-off next month.
Sporting Kansas City have played in the USA’s top league since 1996, winning two championships in 2000 and 2013.
They have also lifted the US Open Cup four times.
They begin their new season with a trip to Vancouver Whitecaps on Sunday 1 March, where Reid will be hoping to make his debut after a frustrating two-years with the Hammers.
Reid was West Ham’s second-longest-serving player after captain Mark Noble, moving to Upton Park in 2010, and remains under contract until 2023.
Now he will be hoping his stint Stateside will provide plenty of game time as he looks to prove his fitness after his lengthy first-team absence due to serious knee injury.
Reid has played 223 times for West Ham with the majority coming in the top-flight.
