América vs León – when and where to watch the Leagues Cup clash live? | OneFootball

Club América’s next match will be against León in the third-place game of the 2026 Leagues Cup.

Las Águilas were eliminated in the semifinals in a very controversial match against Monterrey, which ended in a 2-2 draw and was ultimately won by their rivals on penalties.

We call it a controversial match because the refereeing ended up hurting Las Águilas, awarding a penalty in Monterrey’s favor that should have been reviewed by VAR, while at the same time a clear penalty on Henry Martín was not given, and VAR also failed to step in and correct the referee’s bad decision.

But beyond that, it was a match that América generally played well, creating several scoring chances and managing to neutralize an opponent with a great squad, to the point that it was surprising to see them come out with such a defensive approach.

The next opponent, León, lost the other semifinal to Toluca by a score of 2-0 in a match in which they were thoroughly outplayed, despite the Esmeralda side coming in as favorites to win this tournament.

A meaningless match for América?

It is really a match with little or even no appeal for América, so it would not be surprising if Guillermo Almada decides to field an alternate XI for this game.

On the other hand, León has a lot of interest in winning this match, since if they do, they would qualify for the 2027 Concacaf Champions Cup.

When and where to watch the match live?

The match will be played on Sunday, September 6 at 04:00 PM (Central Mexico time) at Shell Energy Stadium in Houston, Texas, and it will be available to watch worldwide on Apple TV.
