The match is part of Seattle's first-ever Throwback Week and includes the debut of a new third kit, "The Orca Kit," which celebrates the club's storied past and commemorates the Sounders' 1995 A-League championship season.

The Rave Green come into the fixture following a 3-2 win over Sporting Kansas City on Saturday, moving the club up to fourth place in the Western Conference with 33 points (9-6-6). Colorado sits in seventh place in the Western Conference with 29 points (8-10-5), most recently earning a 3-0 home win over Vancouver on Saturday.
Sounders FC and Colorado have already met once this year, a 1-1 draw at Dick's Sporting Goods Park on April 26. The two sides have faced off 40 times in the regular season and playoffs dating back to 2009, with Seattle holding a 26-8-6 advantage in the series.
MLS announced on July 15 additions to the 2025 MLS All-Star roster, with Sounders FC midfielder Obed Vargas being named to the squad. It's the first selection for the 19-year-old Homegrown Player. Vargas has started all 18 of his regular-season appearances this year.
