The Sounders finished the 2024 season as runners-up in the Western Conference Final of the MLS Cup Playoffs, semifinalists in the U.S. Open Cup, and quarterfinalists in the Leagues Cup. The team had an overall record of 22 wins, 13 losses, and 12 draws in 47 competitive matches they played in 2024. They spent the first half of the regular season with a losing record until an adjustment to the formation that gave the team the best record in MLS heading into the playoffs. The Sounders also conceded fewer goals than any other MLS team during the regular season. The team relied heavily on homegrown players and did not sign new players during the summer transfer window.
On December 4, 2024, the Sounders exercised contract options on six players and declined options on three others. Among the departures was Raúl Ruidíaz, the top goalscorer in the team's MLS era, who played seven seasons with the club. The Sounders are scheduled to open the season in February with the first round of 2025 CONCACAF Champions Cup in a home-and-away series against Guatemalan club Antigua GFC. The MLS regular season begins at the end of the month and will include a break for part of the FIFA Club World Cup in June. The Sounders will host their three group stage matches in the Club World Cup at Lumen Field; their opponents are Brazilian club Botafogo, Atlético Madrid of Spain, and Paris Saint-Germain of France.
The MLS regular season schedule was released on December 19, 2024. The Sounders will play 34 matches—17 at home and 17 away—primarily against the 14 other teams in the Western Conference; the team will also play six opponents from the Eastern Conference. The regular season will include a break for the FIFA Club World Cup and CONCACAF Gold Cup in June but continue through the Leagues Cup in August, unlike previous seasons.
Seattle Sounders FC v The draw for the group stage was held on December 5, 2024. Seattle Sounders FC was in pot 4 but automatically assigned to Group B for scheduling purposes.
For transfers in, dates listed are when Seattle Sounders FC officially signed the player to the roster. Transactions where only the rights to the players are acquired are not listed. For transfers out, dates listed are when Seattle Sounders FC officially removed the players from its roster, not when they signed with another club. If a player later signed with another club, his new club will be noted, but the date listed here remains the one when he was officially removed from the Seattle Sounders FC roster.
Draft picks were not automatically signed to the team roster. Only those who are signed to a contract were listed as transfers in. Only trades involving draft picks and executed after the start of the 2025 MLS SuperDraft are listed in the notes.
