Philadelphia Union Hosts Club América
“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.
The Philadelphia Union will host Club América for the first leg of the Round of 16 in the Concacaf Champions Cup on March 10, 2026, at Subaru Park in Philadelphia. 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 as they prepare to face the Mexican side once again.
In their last outing, Club América secured a 2-1 victory against Querétaro, showcasing their competitive form. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Union finished first in MLS in 2025 with an impressive record of 20-6-8, although they have struggled at the start of the 2026 season, losing their first three league matchups.
In the previous round of the Concacaf Champions Cup, the Union demonstrated their strength by defeating Defence Force FC 5-0 on the road and 7-0 at home.
In the first leg against Club América, Raphael Veiga scored the only goal, giving the Mexican club a narrow 1-0 lead. The Union’s performance was disappointing, as they recorded zero shots on target throughout the match.
The first leg ended with Club América leading 1-0, a marginal advantage that reflects the tight nature of the competition. “The first leg in Philly was a lowly event for the Union, as Club América grabbed a marginal advantage after 90 minutes of play,” noted a commentator.
As the clock read over 70 minutes, the Union failed to muster any real bite in their attack, a concern that they will need to address before the second leg, which is scheduled for March 18 in Mexico City.
The match will be broadcast on FS1, TUDN, OneSoccer, and ConcacafGO, allowing fans to follow the action closely.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any potential lineup changes or strategies that may be employed by the Union in the upcoming match.
