Updated October 24, 2026: San Diego FC is scheduled to host Seattle Sounders FC at Snapdragon Stadium in the 2026 MLS regular season. The official match listing and the club’s latest matchday information still show a 7:30 p.m. kickoff in San Diego. The latest MLS player status report and the current Fan Appreciation Night and transit details are included below.
The fixture is set for Saturday, October 24, 2026, at 7:30 p.m. in San Diego. The venue is on Pacific Time; because daylight saving time remains in effect on that date, the local designation is Pacific Daylight Time (PDT, UTC−07:00). The same instant is Sunday, October 25, at 02:30 UTC. The UTC calendar date is one day later because it is already after midnight in Coordinated Universal Time when the match begins in California.
The U.S. 2026 daylight-saving period runs through November 1, so October 24 uses PDT rather than Pacific Standard Time. The National Institute of Standards and Technology’s daylight-saving calendar confirms that date. The San Diego FC match listing and the club’s matchday guide continue to identify October 24 and 7:30 p.m. as the local match time. No change to the announced kickoff or stadium was shown in the official pages checked for this update.
San Diego FC is the home team, and the match is scheduled for Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego, California. The venue is served by Stadium Station on the San Diego MTS Green Line. The club’s match page identifies the stadium and match details; MTS’s event page and its October 22 service announcement provide current transport guidance. Fans should check those official pages again before leaving in case the club or transit agency posts a late operational change.
San Diego FC has designated the Seattle game as Fan Appreciation Night. The club’s latest match-specific announcement and matchday guide call it Fan Appreciation Night presented by Snapdragon. The guide is the most useful reference for event-day timing and activities.
According to that guide, the parking lots open at 3:30 p.m., FanFest takes place on the East Lawn from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., gates open at 6:00 p.m., and kickoff is 7:30 p.m. These are San Diego times. FanFest is planned to include Halloween-themed activities and other pre-match experiences. The first 20,000 fans in attendance are scheduled to receive an exclusive 2026 SDFC team poster, so the giveaway is limited and arriving early does not guarantee one if the allotment has already been distributed.
The club also invites fans to raise their scarves in the 18th minute in recognition of San Diego’s 18 communities. Its Fan Appreciation page lists an 18% food-and-beverage offer from 6:00 to 6:45 p.m. and merchandise promotions, including buy-one-get-one scarf and hat offers and a discount on jerseys and apparel. After the final whistle, fans selected at random may have the opportunity to meet an SDFC player and receive a game-worn, autographed shirt. These are limited promotions and selected-fan experiences, not benefits guaranteed to every ticket holder. Review the club’s matchday guide and Fan Appreciation Night page for current terms and any updates.
MLS’s Matchday 32 player status report, checked for this update, lists San Diego FC forward Elias Achouri as out with a lower-body designation. For Seattle, it lists Pedro de la Vega (quad), Yeimar Gómez Andrade (hamstring), Danny Musovski (head), and Nikola Petković (knee) as out, and Paul Rothrock (hamstring) as questionable. These are the league’s published availability labels; they do not establish a diagnosis or predict when a player will return. Availability can change, and the report is not the same as the confirmed starting lineup.
The league’s disciplinary summary dated October 20 lists no October 24 suspension for a San Diego FC or Seattle player. It does identify Aníbal Godoy and Chris McVey of San Diego, plus Hassani Dotson and Peter Kingston of Seattle, as one caution away from a suspension or fine. A caution warning is not a suspension for this match. The official match lineup page should be checked close to kickoff for the starting XIs and any final changes.
San Diego FC’s match listing identifies Apple TV as the viewing option. MLS says every 2026 MLS match is available live through Apple TV with a subscription. Check the match card and the official MLS viewing guide for the listing and current subscription details. This guide gives the event time in San Diego and UTC rather than assuming a separate reader market or local time zone.
MTS recommends the Green Line to Stadium Station, next to Snapdragon Stadium. In an October 22 announcement for the weekend’s soccer matches, MTS said trolleys would run every 15 minutes or better before and after each match, with added trips from Downtown toward Stadium Station before kickoff. After the event, additional trips toward El Cajon and Downtown may be added as needed until crowds diminish. MTS does not promise a fixed end time for those extra post-match trains, so leave time for queues and follow station announcements.
MTS lists Park & Ride options at Old Town Transit Center, Morena/Linda Vista, Grossmont Transit Center, El Cajon Transit Center, and Amaya Drive. Contactless payment by card or mobile wallet is available at station validators; MTS lists a $3 one-way fare valid for two hours. Riders using PRONTO should activate their fare at the platform validator before boarding, and each person needs an individual payment method or fare account. On weekends, up to two children age 12 or younger ride free with each fare-paying adult.
Service can change with operating conditions. Before traveling, check the October 22 MTS service announcement, the event-specific MTS page, and current alerts. The announcement is the latest source for the added service described here.
Before heading to the stadium, verify ticket access, entry and parking instructions, and promotion terms on San Diego FC’s matchday pages. Check the latest MLS availability report and official lineup page for late player-status changes; the status report above is not a guarantee of the final team sheet. Trolley riders should confirm service and alerts with MTS on match day. For calendars, save both Saturday, October 24, at 7:30 p.m. PDT (UTC−07:00) in San Diego and Sunday, October 25, at 02:30 UTC. That preserves the correct event time while making the date change clear for international schedules.
