The 2020 season for Seattle Sounders FC was their twelfth in Major League Soccer (MLS), the top flight of professional club soccer in the United States. It was the 37th season played by a professional team bearing the Sounders name. Seattle was the reigning MLS Cup champions and were expected to play 34 matches during the regular season, which began on March 1. The regular season was suspended on March 12 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which had already caused reduced attendance at an earlier match. MLS play returned with a special tournament in July hosted at a bubble site; Seattle then hosted matches at CenturyLink Field (pictured), their home stadium, behind closed doors. The Sounders only played 22 regular season matches after several were canceled; the 2020 U.S. Open Cup was also canceled. Seattle qualified for the playoffs as the second-placed team in the Western Conference and won a second consecutive conference championship. They lost 3–0 in MLS Cup 2020 against the Columbus Crew SC. (Full article...)
