There will be nine MLS teams vying to make history in the Concacaf Champions Cup in 2026, looking to become just the fourth club from the American top division to claim continental glory.
Over the past two seasons, MLS sides have made deep runs in the tournament, but none have claimed the title since Seattle Sounders won in 2022. Last year, Vancouver Whitecaps lost 5–0 to Liga MX’s Cruz Azul in the final, and the year prior, Columbus Crew suffered a similar fate, losing 3–0 to Pachuca in the championship match.
