Concacaf Champions Cup Arrives Fast | Morning Espresso, 2.3
About this episode
The 2026 Concacaf Champions Cup kicks off with immediate tests across the region. San Diego FC makes its continental debut against Pumas UNAM, Forge FC faces Tigres UANL in brutal conditions, and Olimpia hosts Club América in a history-laden opener. We also look at England’s new CTE prevention protocol and why it validates long-criticized U.S. Soccer youth heading rules, plus LA28’s expanding Olympic soccer footprint, key MLS moves, and the latest developments in the John Textor–Botafogo saga.
