That match has officially been rescheduled for Wednesday, August 13, at 7:30 p.m. ET at Subaru Park in Chester, Pa.

The victor of the Union-Red Bulls clash will face Nashville SC in the East bracket’s Semifinal on Tuesday, Sept. 16. The host of this meeting remains up in the air – the Red Bulls would welcome the Tennessean squad to Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, N.J. (7:30 p.m. ET), with a win over Philadelphia, while a victorious Union side would travel to GEODIS Park in Nashville (8:00 p.m. ET).

The Semifinals conclude on Wednesday, Sept. 17, when Minnesota United FC hosts Austin FC to determine who emerges from the competition’s West bracket. Kickoff from Allianz Field in St. Paul, Minn., is set for 8:00 p.m. ET.

CBS Sports’ unprecedented coverage of U.S. Soccer’s Club Championship will continue with Paramount+ live streams of the three contests, which will also all be simulcast on CBS Sports Network.
