Match Preview: What’s at stake?
Club America and Columbus Crew meet in the Leagues Cup 2026 quarterfinals, with a place in the semifinals on the line. The matchup is part of the competition’s MLS-vs.-Liga MX knockout stage, which guarantees cross-league meetings through the quarterfinals. The winner will face the winner of Monterrey vs. Chicago Fire in the semifinal round.

Both teams reached the knockout stage without losing during Phase One, but Columbus Crew finished with 8 points while Club America collected 7, putting the MLS side third among its league’s qualifiers and America second among Liga MX clubs.
The Crew’s run included a 3-1 win over Atlas, a 2-1 victory against Pachuca and a draw with Pumas that was settled by penalties. America also went unbeaten, with its campaign including a penalty-shootout win after drawing Austin FC. The quarterfinal is particularly significant for Columbus because the club already knows what it takes to win this tournament.
The Crew lifted the Leagues Cup trophy in 2024, while the 2026 edition has a major additional incentive: the top three finishers qualify for the 2027 Concacaf Champions Cup. That means advancing against America would put Columbus just two wins away from the title and one step closer to securing continental qualification.
