-3.69: Andrew Thomas’ Goals minus Expected Goals, the fifth-best mark in MLS
4: Goals conceded, the fewest in the league
6: Jesús Ferreira assists in all competitions, a team-high
13: Players on the 2026 roster who were originally developed in either the Sounders Academy or Tacoma Defiance
19: Points through eight matches, tying a franchise record (2012)
20: Home unbeaten streak in all competitions, the longest in club history, with the last loss coming in June 2025
48.8: MLS-leading accurate shooting percentage
403: Total Sounders appearances for Cristian Roldan, who joined teammate Stefan Frei as just the second player in club history to reach the 400 milestone
