Currently, Orlando City comes off a nail-biting quarterfinal win against Liga MX champions Toluca FC, progressing after a scoreless draw and subsequent penalty shootout.
This matchup is crucial as both teams vie for a spot in the final on August 31, with the winner also earning a place in the 2026 Concacaf Champions Cup.
Should Miami win, they will face either LA Galaxy or Seattle Sounders in the finals; if they lose, they will compete in the Third Place match on the same day.
