The fight for the Cascadia Cup continues as the Seattle Sounders take on the Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday night in what will be a can’t-miss event at Lumen Field.
To witness the liveliness that these two teams bring in a head-to-head clash is worth the trip to Lumen Field itself, but there are plenty of additional reasons that will make Saturday’s match a memorable one.
Kicking off Cascadia Week strong
Saturday’s match vs. Vancouver will be the first of two rivalry matches for the Rave Green over the span of a week. The Sounders will face the Portland Timbers the following Saturday (Oct. 4) to cap off Cascadia Week.
The rivalry between the two sides dates back to 2004, and the intensity of each matchup has yet to falter. It will be even more electric as the reigning Leagues Cup winners look to shut down a strong Whitecaps side composed of players like recently acquired German superstar Thomas Müller.
Clinching Scenarios
The path to the postseason is straight forward.
If the Sounders win or draw against the Whitecaps, the team will secure a spot in the Audi 2025 MLS Cup Playoffs. As we saw in the Leagues Cup Final, this team elevates its play when spurred on by an electric crowd at Lumen Field. Join the Rave this weekend as the Sounders look to lock up a playoff berth for the 16th time in 17 MLS seasons.
Hungry for three points
Following consecutive losses against Inter Miami and Austin FC, the Sounders are more than ready to get back to their winning ways. Prior to the two-match hiccup, the team only had one loss in 16 straight matches in addition to a first-ever Leagues Cup title. The team knows what they are capable of and are determined to bring back that strong run of form come Saturday.
Revenge Match
Revenge is in store for the Rave Green. In the team’s first meeting against the Whitecaps, they fell 3-0 at BC Place while playing most of the second half nine players due to a pair of red cards. Now at home, the Sounders will look to utilize fan support and take back what is rightfully theirs — a win over the ‘Caps.
As this team showed during the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, they’re at their best when the facing off against top-quality opponents. Saturday marks an opportunity for the team to exact some revenge and prove their ambition for an MLS Cup run by taking down one of the best teams in the Western Conference.
