Overview

• Both semifinals stream on Paramount+, with Nashville vs. Philadelphia Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET and Minnesota vs. Austin Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. ET.
• Philadelphia is the only semifinalist with prior Open Cup finals, finishing runners-up in 2013, 2014 and 2018.
• Nashville has reached its first semifinal, driven by the attacking duo of Hany Mukhtar and Sam Surridge under head coach B. J. Callaghan.
• Minnesota enters on strong form with a league-leading 21 set-piece goals under Eric Ramsay and expects roughly 14,000 fans at Allianz Field.
• Austin’s attack has labored since Brandon Vazquez’s July ACL tear, making this Cup run their most viable shot at silverware this season.
