America will crown a champion tonight as the 2026 US Open Cup Final takes place at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field in Columbus between the Columbus Crew and St. Louis City. The Crew will host with a chance to lift the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup trophy for the first time since 2002, while St. Louis City is competing for the first trophy in its history.
Columbus and St. Louis have faced off just twice since the Gateway City joined Major League Soccer in 2023. Both matches were 2-1 Columbus wins, with the first
coming in July 2023 and the other in April 2025. They meet tonight with silverware on the line in America’s oldest cup competition.
St. Louis City defeated FC Tulsa, the Chicago Fire, the Houston Dynamo, and the Colorado Rapids to reach the US Open Cup Final. On the other side of the bracket, the Crew beat the Richmond Kickers, One Knoxville, NYCFC, and Orlando City on its way to the Final. Both teams are in good form as well. Columbus has won four of their last five matches, while St. Louis is 3W-1L-1D in its previous five matches. Only one can lift the trophy tonight, and we watch to see who will claim the title and the Concacaf Champions Cup spot.
