Seattle Reign Face Utah Royals in Home Finale Match Tonight

SEATTLE, Washington — Seattle Reign will host Utah Royals tonight at Lumen Field for their final regular-season home game, kicking off at 7 PM. The match is not only a Fan Appreciation Night but also crucial for both teams as they vie for playoff spots.

Seattle seeks a win following a recent 1-1 draw against Bay FC, where Jess Fishlock‘s late goal helped secure a point. The Reign need at least one point against Utah to guarantee a post-season berth and improve their chances of hosting a playoff game if they perform well on decision day against Orlando.

Utah, on the other hand, enters the match after a tough season that saw them eliminated from playoff contention last weekend. Despite facing challenges, the Royals have scored an average of two goals per game over their last seven matches, indicating a potent offensive presence that the Reign will need to counter.

The injury report is significant for both teams. The Reign will be without several players, including Lynn Biyendolo (knee) and Jordyn Huitema (illness). The Royals also face absences, including Imani Dorsey (hip) and Cece Kizer (lower leg).

Officials for the match include referee Cristian Campo Hernandez, alongside assistant referees Bennett Savage and Clarence Clark. The match will be broadcast on Fox 13+ and NWSL+ with streaming available in the U.S.
