On August 31, 2025, Seattle Sounders FC defeated Inter Miami CF 3–0 at Lumen Field in Seattle to claim their first Leagues Cup title, with Alex Roldán earning man of the match honors for a goal and two assists. The match set a competition and stadium attendance record with 69,314 spectators and marked the third consecutive all-MLS final after every Liga MX team was eliminated by the quarterfinals. Both clubs were making their second appearance in the final—Seattle had finished as runners-up in 2021, while Miami won the 2023 edition—and they were also participants in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. Seattle entered the match without key injured scorers Jordan Morris and Albert Rusnák, yet still captured the last major North American trophy missing from their collection. The post-match celebrations were delayed by a fight instigated by Inter Miami players and staff, which later resulted in suspensions. The unique tournament format, which featured 36 teams and decided tied matches with penalty shootouts instead of extra time, saw defending champions Columbus Crew eliminated early in the league phase.
