Sounders vs Vancouver Whitecaps live TV: Streaming, schedule and how to watch

BC Place hosts the Seattle Sounders and the Vancouver Whitecaps in a key Western Conference MLS match. Vancouver has a clear shot at the Supporters Shield and if all things break correctly Seattle can nab a bye into the MLS Cup Playoffs. There's also the tiny matter of the Cascadia Cup. The Sounders take home the trivalry cup with win or a draw.

Sigi Schmid is returning to the sideline. Each side will be without a member of their starting eleven. Vancouver is without Laba due to suspension and Sounders CB Roman Torres is out for the season with an ACL injury.
