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,” stated 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, as the Union look to make a statement against a historically dominant opponent.
In their last meeting during the 2021 CONCACAF Champions League, Club América defeated the Union 2-0 in both legs, adding pressure on the home team to perform better this time around. The Union, who finished first in MLS in 2025 with a record of 20-6-8, have struggled early in the 2026 season, losing their first three league matchups.
Despite their recent league challenges, the Union showed resilience in the Concacaf Champions Cup, defeating Defence Force FC 5-0 on the road and 7-0 at home in the first round. This performance has given them a boost of confidence as they prepare for the clash with Club América.
Club América, on the other hand, comes off a 2-1 victory against Querétaro, and they will be looking to capitalize on their previous success against the Union. In the first leg of this matchup, Raphael Veiga scored the only goal, giving Club América a narrow 1-0 lead.
The first leg was described as a lowly event for the Union, as they failed to register any shots on target, highlighting the need for a more aggressive approach in the upcoming match. “The difference came down to only one moment of magic,” noted an analyst, emphasizing the fine margins that can determine the outcome.
As the clock read over 70 minutes during the first leg, the Union struggled to muster any real bite in their attack, a situation they will need to rectify if they hope to turn the tide in 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 as both teams vie for advancement in the tournament.
With historical success against the Union, Club América will aim to maintain their advantage, while Philadelphia seeks redemption and a chance to rewrite their narrative in this prestigious competition.
