Seattle holds a 6-1-0 record against St. Louis dating back to 2023 when the Midwestern side joined MLS, with its lone loss coming in a road match last year. The Rave Green defeated St. Louis earlier this year, a 1-0 victory at Energizer Park on March 7. Kalani Kossa-Rienzi scored the match's lone goal.

The contest marks the first MLS home match for Seattle since its season opener on February 22 against Colorado due to ongoing preparations at Lumen Field for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Seattle has played its last five league matches on the road (3-1-1).

Following Saturday's match, Seattle stays at home to host FC Dallas on Saturday, April 25 on the Emerald Queen Casino Pitch at Lumen Field (7:30 p.m. PT / Apple TV, 93.3 KJR FM, El Rey 1360 AM).
