How to watch today's Columbus Crew vs Seattle Sounders MLS game: Live stream, TV channel, and start time

Columbus Crew and Seattle Sounders are set to face off in Major League Soccer for the first time since 2021 on Saturday.

The Crew are in impressive form, having won their last eight matches across all competitions, while the Sounders are eager to rebound after suffering two consecutive losses. Since August, the Crew have been on a strong run, highlighted by their 3-1 triumph over Los Angeles FC to secure the Leagues Cup for the first time.

They maintained their momentum in MLS with a narrow 1-0 win against Philadelphia Union, followed by an impressive 4-2 victory over New York City FC last weekend.

In sharp contrast to the hosts, the Seattle Sounders arrive at this match having suffered two consecutive losses across all competitions. The Sounders fell 1-0 to Los Angeles FC in the US Open Cup on August 29 and then lost by the same scoreline to the Portland Timbers in their latest MLS fixture.

Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.
