The stakes are particularly high because only the top four MLS teams and top four Liga MX teams after Phase One advance to the knockout rounds. The 2026 competition features 36 clubs, with every team playing three matches against opponents from the other league. Austin FC qualified for the tournament after reaching the 2025 MLS Cup Playoffs, while Club America represents Liga MX.
Austin has been one of the surprise performers of the opening round. The Verde & Black opened their campaign with a 2-0 victory over Tijuana, with Joseph Rosales and Jon Gallagher scoring, before Myrto Uzuni produced a first-half hat-trick in the 3-0 win over Puebla. That result gave Austin six points and a strong goal differential heading into its decisive meeting with América.
Club America has shown similar attacking form. The Mexican side beat Portland 3-1 after Brian Rodriguez opened the scoring, Isaias Violante restored the lead in the second half and Oscar Perea added a late third. The result gave America its second straight victory and set up a showdown between two unbeaten teams at Q2 Stadium.
