San Diego FC vs. Sounders, livestream: Kickoff, lineups, updates

The Seattle Sounders head to San Diego FC with a chance, albeit remote, of clinching a spot in the 2026 MLS Playoffs. The main part of the equation is needing to win, and then hoping a host of other teams behind them in the standings drop points.

For San Diego, the terms of the match are a bit more dire. Currently riding an eight-game winless run and sitting in 12th, San Diego is five points out of the final playoff spot. A loss won’t literally eliminate them from contention, but will make their chances extremely remote.
