There will be no local streaming option when the Seattle Sounders host the Columbus Crew on Saturday, the team announced a little more than 24 hours before the game. That means the only legal options for watching the game locally will be in person, through a cable provider that carries JOEtv, or over-the-air on the channel with a digital antenna. Many people in Western Washington will be able to find the game, but it will be virtually impossible to watch in the state outside the Seattle metro area. Sounders games are available on ESPN+, but they are blacked out inside the local broadcast region, which now includes most of Washington.
