KINGSTON, Jamaica—In a highly anticipated cross-league showdown, Jamaican football club Mount Pleasant FA will confront American powerhouse LA Galaxy in the Round of 16 of the 2026 Concacaf Champions Cup. The fixture pairing, confirmed this week, sets the stage for a compelling two-leg confrontation between the reigning Caribbean Cup holders and the multi-time MLS title winners.
Having secured an automatic berth into the tournament’s knockout phase by virtue of their regional championship victory, Mount Pleasant FA bypassed the initial round. The Theodore Whitmore-led squad is scheduled to commence the home-and-away series with an away match at LA Galaxy’s home ground in Los Angeles on March 11. The decisive return leg will be hosted a week later on March 19 at the National Stadium in Kingston, offering Jamaican supporters a pivotal home-field advantage.
The aggregate victor of this clash will progress to the tournament’s quarterfinal stage, where they will encounter the winning side from another North American duel between Mexico’s Deportivo Toluca FC and the MLS’s newest expansion franchise, San Diego FC.
