Issue here is that the selected element do not have this attribute you are looking for directly, it is one of its children:

soup.find(class_="SB-kickOffInfo").find(attrs={"data-eventdatetime": True}).get('data-eventdatetime')

Here also a solution with css selectors:

soup.select_one('.SB-kickOffInfo [data-eventdatetime]').get('data-eventdatetime')

Output:

05/17/2022 18:45:00
