A 2026 Concacaf Champions Cup match night in San Diego isn’t a fantasy—it’s a math problem.

Tonight, John and Dylan break down exactly how teams qualify for the 2026 Concacaf Champions Cup and why the SDFC matches over the next couple of weeks will define whether or not continental football comes to town.

 . . . and, as always, we'll kick off the show with the latest cup, lower league, pro-rel, San Diego, and soccer history news.
