Los Angeles FC News Release
U.S. Soccer today announced a date change for the 2024 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Semifinal between LAFC and Seattle Sounders FC at Starfire Sports Complex in Tukwila, Wash., which has been pushed back one day, to Wednesday, Aug. 28.
Kickoff for that contest remains set for 7:30 p.m. PT. The match will be available to stream for free on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV.
LAFC advanced to the Semifinal Round of the tournament for the first time since 2018 with a 3-1 win over USL Championship side New Mexico United in the Quarterfinals on July 10 at BMO Stadium.
LAFC will renew its rivalry with Seattle for the first time in the U.S. Open Cup, but it will be the fifth time the clubs have met in an elimination match, having met three times in the MLS Cup Playoffs (2019, 2020, 2023) and once in the MLS Is Back Tournament (2020).
The U.S. Open Cup is the oldest ongoing national soccer tournament in the United States. The single-elimination tournament features professional and amateur teams competing for the prestigious U.S. Open Cup title and an automatic berth in next year's Concacaf Champions Cup tournament. The 2024 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup began with 96 teams from across the amateur and professional ranks, including eight MLS clubs, and a schedule of 95 games from March to September. The winner of the tournament will have its name engraved on the Dewar Challenge Trophy and will receive $300,000 in prize money and a berth in the 2025 Concacaf Champions Cup.
