As Sounders FC heads into its 13th consecutive postseason – extending the club’s record as the longest playoff streak in MLS history and second-longest active stretch among the five major men’s sports leagues in the United States – Seattle institutions are showing their support of the club in a variety of ways.

Sounders FC’s 2021 playoff campaign is presented by WaFd Bank, the club’s exclusive banking partner, and kicks off on Tuesday, November 23, as the Rave Green take on Real Salt Lake at Lumen Field (7:30 p.m. PT / FS1, FOX Deportes, 1090 KJR AM, El Rey 1360 AM).  

COMMUNITY ACTIVATIONS

• All Washington State Ferries sailing into and out of Colman Dock on Bainbridge and Bremerton routes are flying Sounders FC flags on Tuesday, November 23.

• At Pike Place Market, the famous Pike Place Fish Market fishmongers are supporting their local club by decorating their Market stall on Monday, November 22 and Tuesday, November 23.

LIGHTING ACTIVATIONS

• Sounders FC’s home, Lumen Field, and its recognizable arches are leading the way with Rave Green lighting on Monday, November 22 and Tuesday, November 23.

• The Seattle Mariners support their neighbors by changing T-Mobile Park’s magenta lighting to Rave Green on Monday, November 22 and Tuesday, November 23.

In addition, the statues of Mariners legends Ken Griffey Jr. and Edgar Martinez, located on the corner of First Avenue and Edgar Martinez Drive, will be dressed in Sounders FC jerseys these evenings as well.

Brian Schmetzer’s side secured the second seed in the Western Conference on Decision Day with a 1-1 draw at Vancouver.
