Recap

In January 2019, the Sounders announced that their USL-affiliated team, Seattle Sounders FC 2, that had moved to Tacoma, Washington would be re-branded as the Tacoma Defiance.[3] In addition, the club announced that Zulily would replace Xbox as the jersey sponsor after signing a multi-year deal.[4]

Long-time midfielder Osvaldo Alonso, who had served as captain and been with the club since its inaugural MLS season, was released into free agency and signed with Minnesota United FC in January 2019.[5] Defender Chad Marshall, who had joined in 2014, announced his retirement from professional soccer on May 22, leaving mid-way through the season.[6]

On August 2, defender Román Torres was suspended for ten matches after testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance by the league.[7]

The Sounders clinched a spot in the 2020 CONCACAF Champions League by virtue of having the 4th best record in the regular season and making it to the Western Conference Finals in the Playoffs; the three other teams in the Conference Finals had also clinched berths in the Champions League or were ineligible (in the case of Toronto FC).[8]

Notes
A. a Players who are under contract with Tacoma Defiance.
gollark: It's more of a vertical integration thing.
gollark: ARMvwhatever are the ISAs, which ARM licenses, and they design cores for running those too.
gollark: It's a CPU architecture (well, series of them) made by the actual ARM company.
gollark: Or are going to, or something.
gollark: Well, Nvidia bad. And they own ARM now (oh dear).
