LAFC vs Seattle Sounders on TV, score, highlights

Following the unexpected first-round upsets of Inter Miami — the 2024 Supporters’ Shield winners — and Columbus Crew — the defending MLS Cup champion — the road to MLS Cup could go through Los Angeles’ BMO Stadium.

Los Angeles FC is the highest seed remaining in the MLS Cup Playoffs and will enjoy home-field advantage for as long as it remains in the postseason.

Standing in the way are the Seattle Sounders, a playoff regular who has missed the postseason just once in their 15-year MLS history. The Sounders advanced through Round 1 after winning back-to-back penalty shootouts against the Houston Dynamo. Goalkeeper Stefan Frei has registered 14 clean sheets in MLS playoff games — the second-most in league history — and will be counted on to divert a dynamic LAFC attack.

LAFC are unbeaten in the last 10 meetings against the Sounders, including knockout wins over Seattle in the quarterfinals of the Leagues Cup and semifinals of the US Open Cup. LAFC and Seattle also met in the conference semifinals last season, a game LAFC won en route to a second consecutive MLS Cup appearance. LAFC is aiming to become the third team to advance to the MLS Cup in three consecutive seasons (joining DC United, which won three titles in four straight appearances from 1996-99; and New England Revolution, which lost each of the finals they reached since 2005 -07).

While LAFC has reached the MLS Cup in consecutive seasons — winning in an epic final in 2022 — the Seattle Sounders reached four MLS Cups in a five-year span from 2016-2020, winning twice.

The LAFC-Seattle Sounders winner will face the winner of the Los Angeles Galaxy-Minnesota United FC game in next week’s Western Conference final.

The Los Angeles FC vs. Seattle Sounders FC game will stream on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV.

Los Angeles FC will host Seattle Sounders FC on Saturday, Nov. 23 at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles.
