2025 Leagues Cup final
soccer match
The 2025 Leagues Cup final was the deciding match of the fifth edition of the Leagues Cup, a soccer tournament played between clubs from Major League Soccer (MLS) and Liga MX. The match was played on August 31, 2025, at Lumen Field in Seattle, Washington, United States, by host Seattle Sounders FC and Inter Miami CF. Both teams were in their second Leagues Cup final; Seattle finished as runners-up in the 2021 edition, while Miami won the 2023 final. It was the second-ever match played between the two teams, who were already scheduled for a regular match in September 2025. The 2025 final was the third consecutive Leagues Cup final to only feature MLS teams.
Seattle Sounders FC won the match 3–0 for their first Leagues Cup title. Defender Alex Roldán won man of the match honors for his goal and two assists. The match was attended by 69,314 spectators, a record for the Leagues Cup and Lumen Field. The post-match celebrations were delayed by a fight between players and staff instigated by Inter Miami CF that later resulted in suspensions.

Why this record matters
The phrase “soccer match” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q136001939. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2025, 2021 and 2023.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
