Club América kicks off its Leagues Cup 2026 campaign tonight, hosting Major League Soccer's San Diego FC at the iconic Estadio Azteca. Following a decisive 3-0 victory over Santos Laguna in their domestic league, the Mexico City club, managed by Guillermo Almada, is eager to translate its current strong performance onto the international stage.

América enters the Apertura 2026 Liga MX tournament undefeated, having secured seven points from wins against Querétaro and Santos, plus a draw against Atlante. However, the club faces a significant challenge: ending a decade-long drought without an international title. Their last continental triumph was the 2026 CONCACAF Champions Cup, where they defeated Tigres.

In recent Leagues Cup editions, América's best performance was reaching the quarterfinals, where they were eliminated by MLS side Nashville SC. The team is determined to go further this year and break the international trophy drought. Fans will be looking for a strong debut performance tonight as the club seeks to start its quest for the Leagues Cup title on a high note.
