Philadelphia Union vs Club América: A Crucial Showdown
“This is a great CONCACAF Champions Cup matchup that you will not want to miss; make sure to tune in and catch all the action,” said a representative ahead of the highly anticipated match.
On March 10, 2026, Philadelphia Union will host Club América at Subaru Park in Philadelphia for the first leg of the Round of 16 in the Concacaf Champions Cup. Kickoff is set for 7 PM ET.
Historically, Club América has had the upper hand against Philadelphia Union, having defeated them 2-0 in both legs of their last meeting during the 2021 CONCACAF Champions League. This past performance adds pressure on the Union, who finished first in MLS in 2025 with a record of 20-6-8 but have struggled at the start of the 2026 season, losing their first three league matchups.
In their recent matches, Philadelphia Union showed resilience, defeating Defence Force FC 5-0 on the road and 7-0 at home in the first round of the Concacaf Champions Cup. However, their recent form raises questions about their ability to compete against a formidable opponent like Club América.
Club América enters this matchup following a 2-1 victory against Querétaro, and they will be looking to capitalize on their historical success against the Union. Raphael Veiga scored the only goal for Club América in the first leg against Philadelphia Union, which ended with a score of 1-0, giving the Mexican side a slight edge.
The first leg in Philly was a lowly event for the Union, as Club América grabbed a marginal advantage after 90 minutes of play. As the clock read over 70 minutes, the Union failed to muster up any real bite in their attack, leaving them with zero shots on target.
The second leg of this matchup will take place on March 18 in Mexico City, where Philadelphia Union will need to turn the tide if they hope to advance in the tournament.
The match will be broadcast on FS1, TUDN, OneSoccer, and ConcacafGO, allowing fans to follow the action as both teams vie for a place in the next round.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any last-minute changes to the lineup or match conditions, but anticipation continues to build as the date approaches.
