If there’s one thing Columbus shows up for, it’s the Crew. Whether you’re a seasoned supporter or just trying to make your first match at Lower.com Field, figuring out the Columbus Crew game schedule can feel like a sport in itself. Lucky for you, we’ve broken it down so you can spend less time scrolling and more time screaming “GLORY TO COLUMBUS.”
Key Dates You Don’t Want to Miss
League’s Cup
We’re deep into the 2025 Columbus Crew schedule, and some of the most important matches of the year are just around the corner.
Let’s start with the Leagues Cup, where the Crew are looking to defend their 2024 championship title. That’s right, we’re the reigning champs. Here’s who we’re facing (all games are at home, by the way):
- Tuesday, July 29 vs. Toluca – Lost 4-2 in PKs 😭
- Friday, August 1 vs. Puebla – 7 PM
- Tuesday, August 5 vs. León – 7:30 PM
These three matches are huge, and though we lost game 1, if we play our cards right, two big wins against Puebla and León set us up for another deep run. So yes, the Columbus Crew soccer schedule is getting very, very real.
MLS Season
Then we have the MLS regular season, which wraps up at home on Saturday, October 18, when the Crew host the New York Red Bulls at 6 PM. Depending on how things shake out, that game could determine playoff seeding or even be a win-or-go-home situation. The Red Bulls are actively on the cusp of making the final series, so this game could mean A LOT.
No pressure or anything.

How’s the Crew Looking in the Standings?
At the time of writing, Columbus is holding strong in 4th place in the Eastern Conference with 44 points. We’re chasing down FC Cincinnati (ugh) who sit at the top with 49 points. If you’ve been following the Crew Columbus schedule, you know we’ve had some huge wins, but the second half of the season is where it really gets fun.
So You’ve Got Your Tickets… Now What?
How much does it cost to go to a Columbus Crew game?
Prices can vary depending on the opponent and seating section, but on average, tickets for MLS games start around $30–40 for general seating. Leagues Cup matches tend to hover in that same range, though premium spots can climb higher.
If you’re looking to ball on a budget, keep an eye on weekday games or last-minute resale deals.
What time do gates open?
Gates at Lower.com Field typically open 90 minutes before kickoff. That gives you plenty of time to grab food, hit the Crew Shop, or snag a beer without sprinting through the concourse like you’re in a timed challenge.
Can you bring a purse?
Yes, but there are restrictions. Small clutches or purses under a certain size (usually 5”x8”x1”) are allowed. All other bags, aside from diaper bags and medical bags are prohibited, unless you want to make friends with security.
Where do you park?
There’s limited on-site parking at Lower.com Field, but there are plenty of garages and lots nearby in the Arena District and surrounding neighborhoods. We recommend using the ParkMobile app to make your life easier. You can also take the COTA or hop on a scooter if you’re feeling breezy.
Is Lower.com Field indoor or outdoor?
It’s outdoor, baby. There are some covered sections, but this is still real-deal soccer under the Columbus sky. Pack sunscreen or a poncho accordingly.
Final Whistle
Whether you’re catching a Columbus Crew soccer game for the first time or already own four yellow scarves, this season is stacked with energy, drama, and a legit shot at more hardware. The next few months are everything a Crew fan could ask for: home turf battles, revenge matches, and a chance to make history… again.
