It's crunch time in the Audi 2025 MLS Cup Playoffs race, a reality Austin FC and Seattle Sounders FC confront in the latest Sunday Night Soccer presented by Continental Tire showdown (7 pm ET | MLS Season Pass, Apple TV+ ).

These Western Conference sides met nearly three months ago, with Seattle earning a 2-0 home victory behind goals from Jesús Ferreira and Danny Musovski . But this Matchday 35 rematch has higher stakes as summer turns to fall.

Can Austin and Seattle move closer to a postseason spot? Maybe they'll meet again in the playoffs? Perhaps there's late drama, as is often the case at Q2 Stadium?

We're in for a treat.
