COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Columbus Crew has clinched a chance to compete in the MLS Cup for the third straight year.

What You Need To Know

  • The Columbus Crew clinched a MLS Cup Wild Card game last Saturday 

  • The Crew’s last two games determine if the team will receive better seeding 

  • Columbus won the MLS Cup in 2023

The Crew officially secured their spot in the cup race after the New York Red Bulls lost at home to New York City FC on Sept. 27.

Columbus would have a date with the Chicago Fire in a Wild Card match if the season ended today, but the team could improve playoff positioning in the last two matches of their campaign.

The Crew will travel to compete against Orlando City SC on their home pitch Saturday evening. The team will face off against the New York Red Bulls next Saturday evening to close out the season at home.

Columbus most recently lost to Chicago Fire FC 2-0 on Sept. 27.

Multiple injuries to important players, including Diego Rossi and Wessam Abou Ali, before the match resulted in the Crew shuffling lineups and struggling to find their footing in the loss. 

Columbus looks to carry over its winning pedigree from the 2023 MLS Cup Playoffs, which was a win against Los Angeles FC in the championship, to the 2025 cup race.
