The 2014 Seattle Sounders FC season was the club's sixth season in Major League Soccer, the United States' top-tier of professional soccer. Including previous Seattle Sounders franchises, this was the 34th season of a soccer team playing in the Seattle metro area.
The Sounders earned a double for the first time in club history—winning their fourth U.S. Open Cup title and first Supporters' Shield as the best team in the MLS regular season. The team were the first to win 20 matches in the post-shootout era after a slow start to the season. During the 2014 season, the Sounders earned the most points (64) and scored the most goals (65) in the club's MLS history. The team's attempt to complete the league's first domestic treble in the MLS Cup Playoffs was halted by a loss to the LA Galaxy—Shield runners-up and later MLS Cup champions—in the Western Conference Final.
