How to watch today's Minnesota United vs Austin FC US Open Cup game: Live stream, TV channel, and start time

Minnesota United welcome Austin FC to Allianz Field on Wednesday night, with a place in the 2025 US Open Cup final hanging in the balance. 

For the Loons, it's a chance to return to the championship stage for the first time since 2019, when their run ended in heartbreak with a 2-1 defeat to Atlanta United. Now flying high in second place in the Western Conference, Minnesota are enjoying one of their strongest MLS campaigns since joining the league in 2017, and they're hungry to crown it with silverware.

Austin, meanwhile, are chasing history of their own. Since entering MLS in 2020, they've yet to lift a major trophy, but this year's Open Cup run has brought them closer than ever. Their dramatic quarterfinal triumph over the San Jose Earthquakes, sealed in a nerve-jangling penalty shootout, has set the stage for a shot at glory.  

Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.
