Seattle Sounders FC is a soccer team based in Seattle, Washington, that competes in Major League Soccer (MLS), the most senior soccer league in the United States. Sounders FC was established in 2007 as an MLS expansion team and began play in 2009. In addition to the MLS regular season, Seattle also competes in the annual U.S. Open Cup tournament. Depending on the team's performance in these two competitions, they may also qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs in the same year and the CONCACAF Champions League the following year. The CONCACAF Champions League winner qualifies for the next FIFA Club World Cup.

The Sounders won their first MLS Cup in 2016 and their second in 2019; they have also won the U.S. Open Cup four times and the MLS Supporters' Shield once, in 2014.[1][2] Having won seven trophies, Seattle is the joint-fourth most successful MLS club,[citation needed] and one of only two MLS clubs (with Chicago Fire) to win at least four U.S. Open Cups.[3] Sigi Schmid was the club's head coach from the inaugural MLS season in 2009 to 2016; he was replaced by Brian Schmetzer, initially as interim coach and later as full head coach.[4][5]
