Columbus Crew: news, schedules and what fans need to know

Want quick, useful info on the Columbus Crew? You’re in the right place. This page gathers the club’s history, stadium tips, where to watch matches and how to stay updated without wading through clutter.

The Crew started in 1994 and helped shape MLS from the start. They wear yellow and black and have two MLS Cup titles (2008 and 2020). The team’s rescue in 2018 — when local fans rallied to keep the club in Columbus — is still a big part of the club’s story. That moment changed how many fans follow their team.

What to expect on matchday

Home games at Lower.com Field are loud and close to the action. If you’re going, get there early to walk the fan zones and grab food from local vendors. The supporter sections create the best atmosphere, so buy tickets near those areas if you like chants and flags. Wear yellow — it’s the simplest way to feel part of the crowd.

Security and transport can fill up fast on big nights. Use public transit when you can and check the club’s official matchday emails for parking updates. If you plan to tailgate, follow stadium rules so everyone has a good time.

How the Crew play and where to follow

The Crew tend to blend quick wing play with solid midfield work. Coaches change, but the club often focuses on offense that gets fans on their feet. Want live games? MLS Season Pass on Apple TV carries most MLS matches — that’s the easy streaming option for many fans. Local radio and the club’s social channels share live updates, highlights and lineups on matchday.

Not following every game? Set alerts for fixture lists and match recaps. Most fan pages and club newsletters send quick highlights so you don’t miss goals or lineup news.

Looking for tickets or deals? Check the club site first for official sales. Resale platforms can be cheaper close to kickoff but buy from trusted sellers. For big rivalry matches — like the local derby with FC Cincinnati known as "Hell Is Real" — prices rise fast, so plan ahead.

Interested in youth or community news? The Crew runs local programs and youth teams. Following the club’s community page is the best way to find camps, volunteer chances and youth match reports.
