Austin FC releases official 2026 Leagues Cup roster
Austin FC has announced its official 2026 Leagues Cup roster. However, due to when roster submissions were due, expect at least one change to the initial 30 named.
Ahead of Thursday's opening 2026 Leagues Cup match against Club Tijuana, Austin FC released its official roster on Monday in concert with all other 35 teams in the two-league-tournament.
Notably, it includes several Austin FC II players (including dual first-team/second-team players), some of who will inherit new jersey numbers for the duration of the tournament:
Riley Thomas
CJ Fodrey
Jorge Alastuey
Jules Bery
Djakaria Barro
Ibrahima Sall
Ervin Torres
Charlie Farrar
The roster also includes Nicolás Dubersarsky, who is now on loan to Argentine club Tigre, but was on the roster on July 20 when roster submissions were due. The club told Verde All Day that up to three changes can be made to the roster, so expect a Dubersarsky replacement to be named before Thursday.

Leagues Cup begins on Tuesday, and Austin FC's portion of it begins on Thursday. Here's a quick guide to how the newly streamlined tournament will work.
Austin FC was less than four minutes away from escaping Colorado with a scoreless draw. Yet interim head coach Davy Arnaud compared this unfavorably to a 3-0 loss the week before.
Austin FC appeared to be headed for a scoreless draw that would have at least kept them in the playoff mix. A late penalty instead gifted all three points to the Rapids.
On Saturday night, the 13th and 14th place teams in the West square off. We checked in with our favorite Colorado Rapids site to get some intel on a familiar foe.
