The highly anticipated Leagues Cup match between Cruz Azul and Seattle Sounders on August 1, 2025, will be broadcast live on several channels, including Fox Sports 1 in the United States, TSN Canada (channels 1 and 5 in HD), MLS Season Pass, and SiriusXM radio services. For British viewers, while there is no direct UK broadcast listed, options include streaming via MLS Season Pass or accessing international feeds. The game kicks off at 03:40 UK time, corresponding to 7:30 PM local time in Seattle at Lumen Field, where the Sounders will host Cruz Azul in what promises to be a tense encounter[1][2][3]. Fox Sports 1 and TSN will feature commentary from Nate Bukaty as the main commentator alongside co-commentator Devon Kerr. Bukaty is renowned for his in-depth knowledge of American soccer and has been a prominent voice covering Major League Soccer (MLS) and other North American football competitions. Devon Kerr, a former professional goalkeeper, brings expert analysis and insight into goalkeeping and match tactics, enhancing the broadcast experience for viewers[3]. For audiences tuning in on MLS Season Pass, the commentary team includes Max Bretos and co-commentator Brian Dunseth. Bretos is one of the leading MLS broadcasters known for his engaging presentation style, having covered numerous high-profile soccer events, while Dunseth, a former US international defender, lends his defensive expertise. Meanwhile, SiriusXM FC listeners will hear commentary by Danny Jackson with co-commentator Steve Zakuani and sideline reporting by Michelle Ludtka Furbush. Zakuani, formerly a winger with Seattle Sounders FC, provides valuable first-hand perspectives, and Ludtka Furbush offers live updates and interviews throughout the match[3]. Cruz Azul arrives in Seattle looking to build on their 2024 Concacaf Champions Cup win and improve on recent Leagues Cup performances where they hold a 3-4 record tied with the Sounders, who share the same 3-4 Leagues Cup record. The teams have a brief but competitive history, including clashes in the 2025 Concacaf Champions Cup round of 16, with Cruz Azul holding the upper hand after a 4-1 victory and a 0-0 draw earlier this year. The Sounders, unbeaten in six games leading into the match (though three were draws), will rely on their strong home form, having suffered only one loss at Lumen Field this season[1][2]. The game is expected to be high pace with attacking prowess on both sides—Cruz Azul has scored seven goals in their last two games. However, they have struggled on the road this season, an aspect Seattle will look to exploit. Sounders’ defence conceded 10 goals in their last five games, which might give La Máquina chances to break through[2]. UK and international football fans interested in coverage of this Leagues Cup fixture can follow the match via the MLS Season Pass streaming service, which offers access to live games and expert commentary teams including Max Bretos. Radio listeners can tune into SiriusXM FC for additional insights from Danny Jackson and Steve Zakuani.
