The Columbus Crew has a chance to add another championship title to their historic run under coach Wilfred Nancy.

The Crew, reigning 2023 MLS Cup champions, will host Club América, winners of the 2023 Apertura and 2024 Clausura LIGA MX seasons, in the 2024 Campeones Cup on Wednesday night in Columbus, Ohio.

Columbus, which also won the 2024 Leagues Cup a month ago, could win its third title in a year with a win tonight.

Below we’ll be providing live updates throughout the game. Here’s everything you need to know:

The Campones Cup begins at 7:30 p.m. ET at Lower.com Field in Columbus, Ohio – home of the Columbus Crew.

The game will be streamed live via the MLS Season Pass on Apple TV in English and Spanish and on TUDN exclusively in Spanish.

The Campeones Cup is an annual competition in which the winners of the previous MLS and LIGA MX seasons compete for a trophy. This is the sixth edition.

Think of it as the North American version of the Finalissima, the CONMEBOL-UEFA Champions Cup, where the winner of the Copa America faces the UEFA European champions in a match.

Columbus Crew on the hunt for the title

The Columbus Crew beat LAFC 2-1 in the 2023 MLS Cup, lost 3-0 to Pachuca in the Concacaf Champions Cup final on June 1, and defeated LAFC 3-1 in the Leagues Cup final on August 25.

The Campeones Cup is Columbus Crew’s fourth chance to win a trophy before the MLS season ends and the MLS Cup playoffs begin to conclude the 2024 season.

And the Crew has already experienced this: After winning the 2020 MLS Cup, the Crew won the 2021 Campeones Cup.

MLS teams have won three of the five Campeones Cups:

  • 2018: Tigres UANL 3, Toronto FC 1
  • 2019: Atlanta United 3, Club America 2
  • 2021: Columbus Crew 2, Cruz Azul 0
  • 2022: New York City FC 2, Atlas FC 0
  • 2023: Tigres UNAL 0 (4), LAFC 0 (2)

The Crew are still fighting for the MLS Supporters Shield and will be one of the most feared teams in MLS Cup this year, alongside Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami. They face off at Lower.com Field on October 2.
