What happened: Columbus Crew opened sales for 2027-28 season-ticket memberships that bundle the 2027 MLS Sprint Season with the 2027-28 MLS regular season. The club pitched the package as 25 matches in one plan with two chances to win a trophy.

Why it matters: The campaign arrives with one regular-season match left on Columbus' 2026 schedule and the U.S. Open Cup final set for Oct. 21. That timing lets the club market next year's package while league and cup stakes are still in front of supporters.

What to watch: Watch for pricing, seat-location and renewal details as the club rolls out member benefits. Columbus is also set to visit CF Montréal on Saturday before attention shifts to the Open Cup final.
