The 2016 MLS Cup was between the Toronto FC and our own Seattle Sounders FC. It was the first time a Canadian team had challenged for the MLS Cup. It was also the first time the Seattle Sounders had challenged for the MLS Cup.

The 2016 MLS Cup took place on December 10 at BMO field in Toronto, Ontario. Neither team scored a goal during the normal length of the game. It all came down to penalty kicks at the end. The first five penalty kicks for both teams resulted with four points for each team. Now it was down to sudden death rounds. Toronto missed one of their shots giving the Seattle Sounders an opportunity to win. The Sounders took advantage of that opportunity and won the game. This was their first ever MLS Cup win.
