Overview
- Luis Suárez received a six-match suspension for post-match violent conduct, with penalties announced following a video review of the Leagues Cup final.
- Sergio Busquets was suspended two matches for punching Obed Vargas, Tomás Avilés got three matches for violent conduct, and Seattle assistant Steven Lenhart received five.
- All suspensions must be completed in subsequent Leagues Cup editions rather than in domestic league play, and each sanctioned individual will also pay fines.

- Suárez issued a public apology on Instagram after Seattle defeated Inter Miami 3–0, acknowledging his misconduct and its impact on his family and club.
