LINEUP NOTES:

  • Seattle is 23-16-12 all-time in Concacaf Champions Cup action, winning the tournament in 2022, still the only MLS team to win the international competition. The Rave Green played in the 2025 iteration of the tournament, losing to eventual champion Cruz Azul in the Round of 16.
  • Seattle advances with a win or draw of any score, as well as a loss by two goals or less. The game would go to extra time, with the possibility of a penalty shootout, should Vancouver win by a 3-0 scoreline. Whitecaps FC advances with a win by more than three goals, or a three-goal margin of victory if it scores more than four goals due to the away-goal tiebreaker.
  • The winner of the Round of 16 will face the winner of the FC Cincinnati-Tigres UANL series in the Quarterfinals. Cincinnati currently leads the series on aggregate 3-0, with the second leg being played tomorrow at Estadio Universitario.
