América’s opponent set for the round of 16 – Concachampions | OneFootball

We now know who will be Club América's opponent in the Round of 16 of the Concacaf Champions Cup 2026.

The Philadelphia Union from the MLS is the club that will be facing the eagles in the aforementioned round; it should be noted that their series is not yet concluded, as only the first leg has been played, but they won it 5-0 as visitors against Defence Force.

Therefore, we cannot officially confirm this match, but it is practically impossible to think that Defence Force will defeat Philadelphia 6-0 in the return match in the United States.

A precedent between the two in Concachampions.

In the 2021 edition, both teams faced each other in the semifinals of the international tournament with a decisive victory for the eagles by a 4-0 aggregate score.

The first leg was won by the eagles with a 2-0 score at the Estadio Azteca with goals from Richard Sánchez and Emanuel Aguilera, while in the return match, they repeated the score in Philadelphia with goals from Nicolás Benedetti and Henry Martín.

When will the series be played?

The first leg will be played on Wednesday, March 10 at Subaru Park in Philadelphia, with the time to be determined.

The return leg will be on Wednesday, March 18 of the same month, at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes.

The winner will advance to the quarterfinals to face the winner of the other bracket between Inter Miami and Nashville SC.
