Leg 2 will be played at Nashville's GEODIS Park on Feb. 24, determining who reaches the Round of 16 in March. The aggregate winner faces Inter Miami CF, who received a bye as MLS Cup 2025 presented by Audi winners. 

Nine MLS clubs are competing in the prestigious continental tournament, which grants a spot in the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup and the 2026 FIFA Intercontinental Cup. The single-match CCC final will be held on May 30.

Atlético Ottawa

Atlético Ottawa are making their Champions Cup debut after winning their first Canadian Premier League title last year. 

Coached by former Mexican midfielder Diego Mejía, Atlético have signed two Mexican players ahead of the upcoming CPL season: El Tri youth international Jonantán Villal and fellow midfielder Daniel Aguilar. 

Rising Canadian center back Noah Abatneh, who got his first CanMNT call-up in January, also features for the club founded in 2020 by LaLiga powerhouse Atlético Madrid.

Nashville SC

Nashville will participate in the CCC for the second time after winning the 2025 US Open Cup, the club's first major title.

The Coyotes are led by the Designated Player duo of Hany Mukhtar and Sam Surridge, who combined for 40 of their 58 regular-season goals last season.

With the winter addition of DP playmaker Cristian Espinoza, Nashville are among the league's early-season favorites to contend for silverware in 2026.
