Colorado Rapids to host St. Louis CITY SC in 2026 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Semifinals

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. – The Colorado Rapids will host St. Louis CITY SC in the 2026 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Semifinals at DICK’S Sporting Goods Park on Wednesday, September 16. Kickoff in Colorado is set for 7:30 p.m. MT with coverage for the match available on CBS Sports Network, Paramount+, Altitude Radio, ColoradoRapids.com, and the Colorado Rapids App. 

The Rapids have reached the Semifinals of the domestic tournament for the first time since 1999 after putting up a dominant performance in the Quarterfinals against the San Jose Earthquakes in May. Colorado defeated San Jose 2-0 after taking down USL Championship side Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC and USL League One side Union Omaha in the Round of 16 and Round of 32, respectively.  

St. Louis has had a tough path of their own to reach the Semifinal, having gone through two MLS sides in Chicago Fire FC and Houston Dynamo FC in addition to FC Tulsa of the USL Championship. Their Quarterfinal match against the Dynamo was a back-and-forth battle, as the two sides went to a shootout following a 2-2 scoreline at the end of regulation and extra time. St. Louis came out on top after four rounds, with the club not missing en route to a 4-2 victory in the shootout.
