The Columbus Crew have officially announced their kickoff times for the 2026 Leagues Cup, setting the stage for an exciting group stage run at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field this August. Fans can expect all three home matches to be played on their home turf, starting with a debut clash against Atlas FC on August 4.
In their second group-stage match on August 7, the Crew will face CF Pachuca—a team they have unfinished business with. The last meeting between these two clubs was the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup final, where Columbus fell 3-0 under unfortunate circumstances, as nearly the entire lineup was battling food poisoning. This rematch offers a chance at redemption.
The Crew will wrap up group play on August 11 against Pumas UNAM, a team they have never faced before. In fact, both Atlas and Pumas are new opponents for Columbus, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the group stage.
With a packed schedule at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field, the Crew are gearing up for a thrilling Leagues Cup campaign. Whether you're cheering from the stands or watching from home, mark your calendars and get ready to support the black and gold as they chase glory on their home pitch.
