On June 17, 2024, the team was purchased by the Carlyle Group (majority owner) and Seattle Sounders FC.

Transactions For incoming transfers, dates listed are when Seattle Reign FC officially signed the players to the roster. Transactions where only the rights to the players are acquired (e.g., draft picks) are not listed. For outgoing transfers, dates listed are when Seattle Reign FC officially removed the players from its roster, not when they signed with another team. If a player later signed with another team, her new team will be noted, but the date listed here remains the one when she was officially removed from the Seattle Reign FC roster.
