This is your moment to see what the ruckus is about if you’re new to rugby. The Seattle Seawolves, two-time Major League Rugby champions, are facing off against the Chicago Hounds at Tukwila’s Starfire Sports. The arena’s intimate atmosphere lets you feel every tackle while you cheer alongside some of sports’ most dedicated fans.

The team which was founded in 2017 alongside the MLR, won two back-to-back championships before COVID cancelled its 2020 season.  While they’ve lost shots at the win in the years after, 2025 may be shaping up to be the team’s comeback year. This round 10 match (of 17) is a chance to find your inner rowdy rugby fan with cheaper tickets than one might buy to see the Krakens. Whether you’re an OG Seawolves fan or just looking to shake up your plans, this match is a full-contact Friday.

💁 Pro tips:

🚗Parking fills up fast. Arrive early or take the Sounder train or light rail to Tukwila Station, just a short rideshare away.
🧣Bundle up. This is a spring outdoor game so layers are your friend.
