In less than a month Seattle Sounders fans will be able to see their squad take the pitch again. Full preseason plans for the club are not yet public, but at least one match is now known. Seattle is once again traveling to Tucson, Arizona for a portion of preseason, which will include a match against Real Salt Lake.
With FC Tucson hosting four other MLS teams as well as a few USL Championship and USL League One sides, there should be opportunity for a few scrimmages outside of organized play. There is not a preseason cup competition this year; instead the Desert Showcase is an opportunity for southern Arizona residents to see a broad swath of pro teams.
