Seattle Reign will look to break a 4-match scoring drought tonight as they take on the defending champions, Gotham FC, at Lumen Field in their last home match before the summer break. The match kicks off at 7 PM PT and is streaming on Victory+.
The two sides last faced each other at the end of the 2025 regular season, resulting in a scoreless draw. Seattle holds a slight edge in the all-time series, with 12 wins, 10 losses, and 10 draws. The Reign are unpredictable versus Gotham at home, where their all-time record is 6-7-5. The last three meetings have all ended in draws, and Seattle has not beaten Gotham since April 1st, 2023 – a streak that they will hope to break tonight. It won’t be easy, as Gotham has found their stride this spring and is unbeaten in their last four outings, three of which were clean sheet wins.
