How to watch CF America vs Columbus Crew: TV channel, live stream and kick-off time | OneFootball

CF America face Columbus Crew in the Leagues Cup at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California, with kick-off on 26 August 2026 at 10.45pm. According to Goal.com, the match is live on Apple TV, which holds the rights to every Leagues Cup fixture.

Guillermo Almada's side have been among the standout performers, winning four of their past five across competitions and sitting top of the Liga MX Apertura. They have shown the consistency to look like serious Leagues Cup contenders.

America won 2-1 at FC Juarez on 22 August, extending a productive domestic run. Before that they swept past Atletico de San Luis 3-0.

Columbus arrive in a tougher moment. Laurent Courtois's team have lost three straight MLS games. They were beaten 1-2 at CF Montreal on 19 August and 3-2 at Nashville SC on 23 August, leaving them 12th in the Eastern Conference.

The Crew did impress in the Leagues Cup group stage, winning three from three before progressing past Club Universidad Nacional. Courtois will want that version to reappear, not the one that conceded six goals in their last two MLS outings.

This knockout tie offers Columbus a chance to reset, though they run into an America side operating at a level few in either league can match.
