The Blues and the Reign meet for the first time since FC Kansas City defeated them (for the second straight time) in the Championship.
FC Kansas City travels to Seattle to face the Reign for the first time since beating them for the NWSL Championship (for the second straight year).
Seattle has been one of the best teams the last two years but so has FC Kansas City. The Blues faced the Reign in the last two NWSL Championships and have been well matched opponents.
"This time is no different than any other time," FC Kansas City head coach Vlatko Andonovski observed.
