California Legion and Seattle Seawolves Clash for Top Playoff Seed

On June 7, 2026, the Major League Rugby regular season concluded with a high-stakes showdown at Starfire Stadium.

The California Legion, in their inaugural season following the merger of the San Diego Legion and Rugby Football Club Los Angeles, traveled to Tukwila, Washington, to face the seasoned Seattle Seawolves.

While both franchises had already clinched playoff berths, this match held significant weight: the winner would secure the top seed and the crucial right to host a semifinal game.

The teams were no strangers to each other, having met earlier in the season on April 20, where California pulled off a thrilling 38–29 comeback win.

With the playoffs looming, both teams viewed the game as a potential preview of a future championship clash, aiming to build momentum before the postseason tournament began.
