CD Guadalajara and FC Dallas are set to meet in Leagues Cup 2026, and the match will be available live on Apple TV. For Gabriel Milito, it is a quick chance to turn the page after CD Guadalajara’s 1-1 draw with Los Ángeles FC on 6 August left the club without points in its opening match.
That is why Chivas Vs Dallas is drawing attention now. CD Guadalajara sits in 19th place in the Leagues Cup table, while FC Dallas is 10th after opening with a 2-0 win over Querétaro FC. In a tournament built around three Phase One matches against opponents from the other league, every point matters, and the four best teams from each region move on to the quarterfinals.
The setup makes the game more than a simple cross-league meeting. The Leagues Cup brings together 18 MLS clubs and 18 Liga MX clubs, so results in the opening phase carry direct weight for advancement. Milito’s side has to respond after dropping points, while Eric Quill arrives with the cleaner start and the confidence that comes from a win.
There is no injury or suspension issue reported for either team, which leaves the result to be decided on the field rather than by absences. CD Guadalajara also continues to play with its long-standing approach of using only Mexican players or players with a connection to Mexico, a detail that often shapes how the club is viewed in matches like this.
What is still missing is the kickoff time. The viewing path is clear through Apple TV, but the exact start has not been confirmed in the available information, leaving supporters with the matchup and the stakes, but not yet the minute it begins.
