América v León, Leagues Cup third-place play-off: kick-off time and how to watch | OneFootball

Club América face León in the Leagues Cup 2026 third-place play-off in Houston on Sunday.

They went out in the semi-finals after a 2-2 draw with Monterrey, then lost on penalties. According to Americayya.net, América felt aggrieved by the officiating, citing a Monterrey spot-kick that should have gone to VAR and a clear foul on Henry Martín that was neither given nor reviewed.

Even so, América created several chances and largely contained a strong Monterrey side, who surprisingly adopted a defensive approach.

León were beaten 2-0 by Toluca in the other semi, despite arriving as one of the favourites for the tournament.

For América this fixture carries little or even no appeal, so it would not be a surprise if Guillermo Almada named a rotated XI.

León, by contrast, have plenty on the line, as victory would seal a Concacaf Champions Cup 2027 berth.

The match is on Sunday 6 September at 4:00pm Central Mexico time at Shell Energy Stadium, Houston, Texas, and will be available worldwide on Apple TV.
