So You Wanna Watch the Seattle Sounders Play? Buckle Up, Buttercup!
Let's face it, there's nothing quite like watching the beautiful game with Ra�l Ruid�az weaving magic and the Emerald City faithful roaring. But with all these newfangled streaming services and whatnot, figuring out how to catch a Sounders match can feel trickier than dribbling past a defender with a hangover. Fear not, fellow fans, for this guide will be your compass through the ever-shifting landscape of televised soccer.
Prime and Peachy (for Washingtonians Only):
If you're lucky enough to reside in the glorious state of Washington, then listen up! Amazon Prime Video has you covered for most Sounders matches, free of charge for Prime members (because let's face it, who doesn't love free stuff?). Just fire up the Prime Video app and search for "Seattle Sounders." Now, here's the catch: this only applies to non-nationally televised games, so if the match is being shown on ESPN or something, you'll need another option. But hey, free soccer is free soccer, right?
Tip: Every word counts — don’t skip too much.

For those outside Washington or for nationally televised matches, you'll need to look elsewhere. Here's where things get a tad more complicated, so grab a snack (because this might take a while).
ESPN and ESPN+: These guys are showing a good chunk of MLS games, including some Sounders matches. If you have a cable subscription that includes ESPN, you're good to go. If not, you can subscribe to ESPN+, which is like the cool, streaming cousin of regular ol' ESPN. Just remember, some games might be blacked out depending on your location.
MLS Season Pass on Apple TV: Now, this is the big new kid on the block. For a fee, you can watch every single MLS game, including all Sounders matches, with no blackouts. Sounds pretty sweet, huh? Just be sure you have an Apple TV app and are willing to shell out some cash.
