Columbus Crew will play Club America in the Leagues Cup quarterfinal on August 26 at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California. The match, scheduled for 10:45 p.m. ET, will be available on Apple TV. Club America, a Liga MX team, earned hosting rights for the neutral-site quarterfinal. The Crew has a recent history with Club America, having lost 1-1 (5-4 on penalty kicks) to them in the 2024 Campeones Cup Final, where Nestor Araujo scored the decisive penalty. However, Columbus Crew previously defeated Club America 4-1 in the 2023 Leagues Cup group stage. In the current Leagues Cup, the Crew advanced by beating Atlas FC and CF Pachuca in regulation, and Pumas UNAM in a penalty shootout. Despite their Leagues Cup success, the Crew's recent form has seen them lose to Charlotte FC, CF Montreal, and Nashville SC, causing them to drop in the MLS Eastern Conference standings.
