San Diego FC and Puebla Set for Decisive Leagues Cup Phase One Clash

San Diego FC and Puebla are scheduled to meet on Wednesday, 12 August 2026, for the third and final Phase One match of the 2026 Leagues Cup. The fixture is set to take place at Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego, with kickoff scheduled for 10:15 p.m. ET.

The match carries significant weight for both organisations as it concludes the initial group stage. San Diego FC enters the contest with a 1-1 record, having secured a 1-0 victory over Club Tijuana but suffering a 3-1 defeat against Club América. Conversely, Puebla arrives with a winless 0-2 record following losses to Portland and Austin.

Under the current Leagues Cup structure, 36 participating clubs compete in three matches against teams from the opposite league. The tournament format dictates that the top four MLS clubs and the top four Liga MX clubs, based on separate league tables, will advance to the quarterfinals.

Beyond immediate progression, the tournament standings determine eligibility for broader continental competition. The top three finishers in the overall tournament table will qualify for the 2027 Concacaf Champions Cup, adding further pressure to the outcome of this final Phase One encounter.
