Leagues Cup is drawing attention as its 2026 Phase One runs from August 4–13, featuring 54 matches between MLS and Liga MX clubs. ⚽
The Concacaf-sanctioned annual tournament connects the two North American leagues. This year’s competition runs through September 6 and includes 36 teams: all 18 Liga MX clubs and 18 qualifying MLS clubs.
The format has two phases, with entry and ranking based on 2025 league performance. It has evolved from smaller early editions, including a 2023 expansion involving clubs from both leagues.
The stakes extend beyond the trophy: the top three finishers qualify for the Concacaf Champions Cup, while the winner goes directly to that tournament’s Round of 16. 🏆
Four Phase One matches are being hosted in Mexico, marking a change from prior expanded editions that were staged exclusively in the United States and Canada.
