LAFC vs. Chivas: Leagues Cup Clash Tonight!

LAFC is set to play their first match of the 2026 Leagues Cup tonight at BMO Stadium. They will face Liga MX giants Chivas de Guadalajara in Los Angeles to kick off their tournament play.

The home team, LAFC, has been on a strong run of form in MLS. They are currently unbeaten in their last five league games. This includes a four-game winning streak that was recently broken by a 1-1 draw against the Vancouver Whitecaps. Son Heung-Min has been instrumental, scoring in his last four consecutive matches for LAFC.

Chivas de Guadalajara, their opponent, has experienced a more varied start to their 2026 Apertura campaign. After a 2-0 defeat to Toluca and a subsequent 1-0 victory over FC Juarez, they played Puebla to a 1-1 draw last week. Roberto Alvarado, who recently impressed for Mexico in the World Cup, scored that equalizer for Chivas.

The highly anticipated game is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m. local time in Los Angeles. Fans in the United States will be able to stream the match, although it will not be available on select television channels.
