Toluca, Tigres face off in the Final

TOLUCA, Mexico – The 2026 Concacaf Champions Cup arrives at its decisive last match, with Deportivo Toluca FC hosting Tigres UANL in the Final on Saturday at Estadio Nemesio Díez in Toluca, Mexico.

Toluca will host the championship match after finishing atop the competition’s cumulative standings. The club is in search of a third Champions Cup title after last winning the tournament during the 2003 edition.

Los Diablos Rojos reached the Final after staging a comeback in the Semifinals against Los Angeles FC, striking four second half goals to win 4-nil in the second leg, 5-2 on aggregate. Toluca forward Paulinho enters the Final leading the race for the Top Scorer Award, with the Portuguese attacker tallying eight goals in six appearances so far.

Tigres UANL is set for a record-tying fifth appearance in a Final during the modern era (since 2008) as it seeks to claim the trophy for a second time, last doing so in the 2020 edition.

Los Felinos arrive at the decisive meeting after knocking out Nashville SC, 2-nil, on aggregate with 1-nil victories in both legs. The result marked the second time the Liga MX club won a Semifinal without conceding a goal.

Tigres will look to its star-studded attack to clinch the title, including World Cup-winner Ángel Correa, and longtime goalkeeper Nahuel Guzmán, who enters the Final with four clean sheets in eight appearances.
