NEW YORK CITY AND MEXICO CITY - Major League Soccer (MLS) and LIGA MX, together with the Columbus Crew, announced that tickets for Campeones Cup, the annual clash of champions, scheduled for Wednesday, September 29 between MLS Cup champion Columbus Crew and Cruz Azul, LIGA MX's Campeón de Campeones, at the brand-new Lower.com Field in Columbus, will go on sale today, Tuesday, August 10, starting at 10 a.m. ET, via Ticketmaster.com and at this link.
Columbus Crew has won two MLS Cups (2008, 2020), three Supporters' Shields (2004, 2008, 2009) and one Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup (2002) and has among its lineup some of the best players in MLS: Argentine midfielder Lucas Zelarayan, three-time MLS Cup winner Darlington Nagbe, and U.S. Men's National Team forward and two-time MLS Cup winner Gyasi Zardes.
Cruz Azul will represent LIGA MX in Campeones Cup after a spectacular first half of 2021 in which it won its coveted ninth title in the history of the LIGA BBVA MX. Among its roster are scoring champion Uruguayan Jonathan Rodríguez, Jesús Corona and Luis Romo, named best goalkeeper and best defensive midfielder in LIGA MX, respectively.
The two previous editions of Campeones Cup have been split, with MLS and LIGA MX claiming one title each, after Tigres UANL conquered Toronto FC in the inaugural 2018 edition, and Atlanta United defeated Club América 3-2 in the exciting 2019 match, played in front of over 40,000 fans at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Campeones Cup will be the first-ever international sporting event to be played at Lower.com Field, which was inaugurated early July, in a city that has hosted some of the most iconic and important USA-Mexico matches in the history of the rivalry.
Campeones Cup wraps up five weeks of MLS vs. Liga MX matchups between August and September, including the Leagues Cup kicking off August 10 and the MLS All-Star Game presented by Target on August 25 that will pin the MLS All-Stars against Liga MX All-Stars.
Campeones Cup is sponsored by BODYARMOR, Procter & Gamble and Diageo and will be broadcast across the region on Univision, TUDN and ESPN2 in the U.S., TSN and TVA Sports in Canada, and Canal 5 in Mexico.
