How to watch CONCACAF Champions Cup: Live streams, TV channels, start times and latest fixtures for 2026 season originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The 2026 edition of the CONCACAF Champions Cup will determine which soccer club from across North and Central America will reign supreme as the continental title winner.
After securing the first MLS Cup title in club history, Lionel Messi had hoped to push Inter Miami to their first continental championship but they crashed out in the Round of 16. Should any other MLS club win the competition, it would be just the second CONCACAF title in the last 25 editions after Seattle's iconic run in 2022.
Mexican clubs have long dominated this competition, with a Liga MX side winning the title in each of the last three seasons since Seattle's win, and 20 of the last 21 overall.
The Sporting News looks at the key details for this year's competition, including how to watch the matches, kickoff times, and the remaining schedule.

CONCACAF Champions Cup schedule
The CONCACAF Champions Cup began with Round One, with matches played across February. The start of the competition comes well before the start of the Major League Soccer regular season, forcing some MLS clubs to start their season preparations much earlier than usual.
All rounds feature two legs, with each participant hosting once in every round and the winner determined by aggregate score. The away goals tiebreaker is still in effect for this competition, unlike many other continental football tournaments around the world.
The 2026 competition will conclude with the final on May 30, which will be hosted by one of the two participants determined by their earlier performances.

Final
The final is hosted by the higher-performing side through the 2026 CONCACAF Champions Cup.
The two qualifying participants are placed in a defacto table, with three points for each win in the competition and one point for a draw, with the usual tiebreakers of goal differential and goals scored.
For example, in 2025, Cruz Azul hosted the final as their record of three wins and three draws gave them 12 points, while Vancouver Whitecaps had secured 10 points via two wins and four draws.

* Toluca secured passage to the CONCACAF Champions Cup Round of 16 by having a higher aggregate table standing than 2024/25 Apertura champions Club America.
** LAFC secured CONCACAF Champions Cup participation as the next-highest MLS finisher yet to qualify due to 2025 League Cup runners-up Inter Miami having already qualified via their 2025 MLS Cup title.
*** Vancouver FC secured CONCACAF Champions Cup participation as Canadian Championship winners Vancouver Whitecaps had already qualified via MLS table standing, which takes precedent.
