play

The Columbus Crew has a chance to add another championship to a historic streak under coach Wilfred Nancy.

The Crew, reigning 2023 MLS Cup champions, will host Club América, winner of the 2023 Apertura and 2024 Clausura LIGA MX seasons, in the 2024 Campeones Cup on Wednesday night in Columbus, Ohio.

Columbus, who also won the 2024 Leagues Cup a month ago, can win their third title in a year with a win tonight.

US OPEN CUP FINAL: LAFC want to avoid going 0-5 in recent trophy matches

We will be providing live updates throughout the match below. Here’s everything you need to know:

The Campones Cup kicks off at 7:30 p.m. ET at Lower.com Field in Columbus, Ohio – home of the Columbus Crew.

The match will be streamed live via MLS Season Pass on Apple TV in English and Spanish, and on TUDN exclusively in Spanish.

The Campeones Cup is an annual competition in which the winners of the previous MLS and LIGA MX seasons compete for a trophy. This will be the sixth edition.

Think of it as a North American version of the Finalissima, the CONMEBOL–UEFA Cup of Champions, with the winner of the Copa America taking on the champion of the European Championship in a single match.

Columbus Crew in title race

The Columbus Crew defeated LAFC 2-1 in the 2023 MLS Cup, lost 3-0 to Pachuca in the Concacaf Champions Cup final on June 1, and defeated LAFC 3-1 in the Leagues Cup final on August 25.

The Campeones Cup is the fourth chance for Columbus Crew to win a trophy before the MLS season ends and the MLS Cup playoffs begin to conclude the 2024 season.

The Crew has been here before: after winning the MLS Cup in 2020, they won the Campeones Cup in 2021.

MLS teams have won three of the five Campeones Cups:

  • 2018: Tigers UANL 3, Toronto FC 1
  • 2019: Atlanta United 3, Club America 2
  • 2021: Columbus Crew 2, Cruz Blue 0
  • 2022: New York City FC 2, Atlas FC 0
  • 2023: Tigers UNAL 0 (4), LAFC 0 (2)
