Phoenix Rising continues its Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup run in the Round of 32 against MLS side Houston Dynamo FC. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. (PT) on Wednesday, May 7, at Phoenix Rising Stadium. CBS Sports Network and Paramount+ will broadcast the match with radio coverage on KDUS 1060 AM (English) and La Onda 99.5 FM (Spanish).
Rising arrives at the Round of 32 after drawing FC Tulsa 1-1 and winning in penalty kicks on April 16 at Hurricane Soccer and Track Stadium. Notably, 2025 marks a second straight season in which Rising has advanced to the Round of 32, and the third time it faces an MLS opponent in Open Cup play (2024 v. SEA; 2014 v. LAG).
“It’s a great challenge for us,” Head Coach Pa-Modou Kah said. “You’re playing against the 2023 U.S. Open Cup winners. For our players, the most important part is they get to challenge themselves against the opposition of where they want to be. That’s what I’m looking forward to, to seeing how they challenge themselves.”
