Seattle Sounders FC News Release


SEATTLE, WASH. - Following a break in competitive action after an exit in the Group Stage of Leagues Cup 2023, Seattle Sounders FC (10-8-6, 36 points) hosts Atlanta United FC (9-7-8, 35 points) tonight on the Emerald Queen Casino Pitch at Lumen Field (7:30 p.m. PT / Apple TV, 93.3 KJR FM, El Rey 1360 AM).

Several special on-field recognition moments are planned for Sunday, giving Sounders FC fans the ability to show the club's "Once a Sounder" ethos in action - at least until kickoff. Gonzalo Pineda is being recognized during pre-match warmups, while following warmups and prior to team walkouts, Garth Lagerwey will be presented with his official Concacaf Champions League championship watch - a gift from Sounders FC Majority Owner Adrian Hanauer to all players, coaches and technical staff involved in Seattle's historic 2022 Concacaf Champions League title.

As the season enters its final stretch, Seattle sits in fourth place in the Western Conference with 36 points, one point below LAFC and Real Salt Lake and four points above Austin FC, with 10 games left to play.

MEDIA NOTE: Sounders FC encourages fans and media to note several important traffic considerations. From 10:00 p.m. PT on Friday, August 18 through 5:00 a.m. PT on Monday, August 21, I-405 is experiencing a full closure between Sunset Boulevard Northeast in Renton (Exit 5) and Coal Creek Parkway in Bellevue (Exit 10). A detour will be in place along Coal Creek Parkway, but all fans and media should prepare for heavy traffic and delays. Additionally, light rail service for the 1 Line is currently experiencing a service disruption as crews replace rail at Royal Brougham Way, just north of Stadium Station.
