Wednesday, October 21, 2026 · Sports · GSM News

St. Louis City SC of St. Louis, Missouri, travel to ScottsMiracle-Gro Field in Columbus, Franklin County, Ohio, tonight (October 21) for the final of the 111th Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup against the Columbus Crew, kicking off at 8 p.m. ET on CBS Sports Network and Paramount+.

It is St. Louis City's first U.S. Open Cup final and the second-newest club in MLS's chance at the first trophy in club history — although clubs from the city of St. Louis have won 10 Open Cups in all, most recently in 1988. City set an MLS record with a 21-match unbeaten streak this summer before it ended on October 17 in a 3-2 road defeat to Minnesota United. The St. Louis starting lineup: goalkeeper Roman Bürki; defenders Dante Polvara, Timo Baumgartl and Lukas MacNaughton; midfielders Tomas Totland, Daniel Edelman, Chris Durkin and Conrad Wallem; forwards Jeong Sang-bin, Simon Becher and Carlo Holse.

Hosts Columbus, one of MLS's original clubs, have won five of their last six matches, including a semifinal win over Orlando City on September 16. The Crew starting lineup: goalkeeper Nicholas Hagen; defenders Mohamed Farsi, Steven Moreira, Sean Zawadzki and Malte Amundsen; midfielders Santiago Rodriguez, Dylan Chambost, Taha Habroune and Anass Zaroury; forwards Josef Martínez and Brais Méndez.
