2025 U.S. Open Cup Round of 32 Viewing Guide: TV Channel and Live Stream

Tyler Adams, known for his skillful play in both the US Men’s National Team and the English Premier League, recently shared his thoughts on whether Major League Soccer should adopt a relegation system like the EPL. Adams believes that introducing relegation would inject a new level of excitement and competitiveness into the MLS, benefiting players and fans alike.

In other news, the 2025 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup is back this week, gearing up for the round of 32 matches scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday. Sixteen MLS teams are vying for victory in this year’s competition, facing off against teams from lower divisions. Paramount+ will broadcast all 16 games of the round of 32, with a selection of matches also available for streaming on CBS Sports Golazo Network and airing on CBS Sports Network.

Fans won’t see defending champion LAFC in action this season, as the team will not participate due to MLS implementing a cap on the number of tournaments outside of regular season play and playoffs. The final showdown for this year’s Open Cup title is slated for October 1, and the victorious team will secure a spot in the 2026 Concacaf Champions Cup.
