Both sides will be returning to MLS play after an extended break since exiting Leagues Cup in the group stage. Atlanta, who was in group South 3, fell 4-0 to Miami in its first match before falling in penalties to Liga MX club Cruz Azul after ending regulation tied 1-1. Seattle lost 3-0 to Real Salt Lake in the first match of group West 2. The Sounders then let up a two-goal lead to Liga MX's Monterrey, falling 4-2.
Atlanta United joined Major League Soccer in 2017 and won the 2018 MLS Cup in just its second season, the earliest an expansion team has won the title since 1998. The club has set multiple league records including season tickets sales (36,000-plus), single-season average (53,002) and total home attendance (901,033). Owned by Arthur M. Blank, Atlanta United plays its home matches at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. For more information about Atlanta United, including how to purchase season tickets, visit: www.atlutd.com.
