Cruz Azul vs Club América: Where and How to Watch the Champions Cup Clash Live

Cruz Azul and Club América, two of Mexico’s most storied soccer clubs, square off against one another once again in an important second-leg showdown in the Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinals. Things are on the line after their first meeting ended in a scoreless draw, as each side pushes for all-important entry into the semifinals of the tournament. The match will begin at Estadio Olímpico Universitario on Tuesday, April 8, 2025 at 11:30 PM ET. The match will air live on Fox Sports 1 and be streamed on Fubo for those fans who are itching to see all the action.

Cruz Azul this clash in excellent form, sitting at the top of the Liga MX table. With a 21-7-3 mark, the club has 70 points and is in five spots ahead of second-place Toluca. A major factor in their success this season has been their attacking trio, led by Ángel Sepúlveda (13 goals), backed up by Ignacio Rivero and Carlos Rotondi (each on 10). The Blue Cross chain of two wins and five draws in the last seven league games. They went into their last match, a 3-2 win against UNAM, where Rotondi banged in two goals to take a win for the home side.

Club America, on the other hand, comes into the match with a strong but somewhat less dominant performance in Liga MX. They are now fourth in the standings with 17 wins, 6 draws and 8 losses. Their +26 goal differential is third in the league, a testimony to their offensive firepower and defensive fortitude. Henry Martín has been the team’s most productive player this season — the 32-year-old striker both leads the team in goals and assists with nine in each category. Helping him are Brian Rodríguez, eight goals, and Alejandro Zendejas, seven, providing América with depth in attack.

Despite having strong statistics, Club América enters after a crushing 1-0 loss against Pachuca, in which they conceded an early goal after 20 minutes from Salomón Rondón. That loss could serve as added incentive when they battle Cruz Azul, with a closely fought encounter in prospect.

It will be the fourth time Cruz Azul and Club América have faced each other in the last seven months. The two sides have each taken a victory in their recent meetings, with the third being a draw, highlighting how evenly matched they are. Vaduz match with both players having played against each other adds another element to an already exciting upcoming game.

The game is also a showcase of the ongoing talent in Liga MX, and both clubs bring an interesting mix of veterans and up-and-coming stars. And while Club América looks to maintain their momentum with Henry Martín — a continuing threat in the attacking third — Cruz Azul looks to carve out a name for themselves on the pitch with players such as Sepúlveda and Rotondi. The stakes will be high, and with a semifinal place at stake, both teams will be looking to deliver a commanding performance.

The match represents more than a competition; as a reflection of Liga MX’s prowess and the region’s increasing impact on international football. The Concacaf Champions Cup is also a path to compete — and achieve status — on a global level, and that’s added incentive for both clubs to win.

The match will be shown on Fox Sports 1, and streamed on Fubo, for those hoping to catch the action live. Viewers can use Fubo’s free trial to stream live, though regional restrictions may apply.
