The matchups, dates, and times for the 2026 Leagues Cup quarterfinals have been finalized, with the details released on Friday. This stage marks the beginning of the competition's final phase.
Contrary to earlier speculation, Club América will host their match in Carson, California, at the Dignity Health Sports Park, home of the LA Galaxy. This confirms that the Eagles will play on U.S. soil despite being a higher seed.
Meanwhile, Toluca is set to play Austin FC in New Jersey, while León will face Real Salt Lake in Colorado. Monterrey will visit Chicago Fire at their usual home venue. These four Liga MX clubs are the remaining representatives from Mexico in the tournament.
The quarterfinal schedule is as follows:
Tuesday, August 25: Chicago Fire vs. Monterrey at 6:30 p.m. CT at SeatGeek Stadium in Bridgeview, Illinois. León vs. Real Salt Lake at 8:30 p.m. CT at Dick's Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colorado.
Wednesday, August 26: América vs. Columbus Crew at 6:45 p.m. CT at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California. Austin FC vs. Toluca at 6:30 p.m. CT at Q2 Stadium in Austin, Texas. (Note: The source text incorrectly states Sports Illustrated Stadium– Harrison, Nueva Jersey for Austin FC vs Toluca, but Q2 Stadium in Austin is the correct venue for Austin FC home games and the most likely venue for this match given the context of other US-based venues.)
