Starting in late March, the U.S. Open Cup will have 100 teams in total — 72 of them professional — in its 108th running. Four-time winners Seattle Sounders are entering in the Third Round, along with most other MLS sides. That round is scheduled to be played on April 25-26, between Seattle’s matches at home against Minnesota United and on the road at Real Salt Lake.
Crossfire Premier, the state’s only other entrant, starts in the First Round, playing at Project 510 in Oakland on March 22nd.
Seattle won three straight Open Cup titles when they entered MLS in 2009 and picked up their fourth in 2014.
