It looks like the Seattle Sounders’ preseason match against Swedish side IFK Norrköping will be streamed after all. From the looks of things, most of the matches at the Marbella Football Center are streamed and as of now this game is no exception. There are actually streams currently listed on Facebook and YouTube.
While it's unclear if the Sounders had anything to do with this game being made available, they did promote it.
Attention all night owls and early birds:

Sunday's preseason match vs. IFK Norrköping will be streamed on Facebook via @MarbellaFCenter at this link ➡️ https://t.co/vhNqTwIbGc
Kickoff is set for 12:30 p.m. local (3:30 a.m. PT). ⏰ pic.twitter.com/0bzm13FtJM
The only problem? The game kicks off at 3:15 AM on Sunday morning. But the archive of the Sounders' previous game was available on that same YouTube channel, so it stands to reason that this game will still be available at a less ridiculous hour.
With Pedro de la Vega now training, this could be the first time we see the newly signed Young Designated Player suit up for the Sounders.
This will be the second of four preseason games the Sounders have scheduled. They outscored Serbian side TSC Backa 3-2 in an exercise that was split into two 60-minute matches. They'll next play split-squad matches against Danish side Odense Boldklub on Friday, with one scheduled to kick off at 4 AM and the other at 7 AM. Finally, they'll return to Seattle to play USL Championship side Sacramento Republic at the new Longacres training facility on Feb. 17.
