That’s the scenario as 36 clubs from LIGA MX and Major League Soccer compete in in the fourth annual Leagues Cup tournament.
Staged immediately following the FIFA World Cup 2026, Leagues Cup action kicks off Aug. 4, and concludes with the 2026 Leagues Cup Final on Sept. 6.
In addition, Leagues Cup 2026 will award three qualification spots to the 2027 Concacaf Champions Cup. The champion, runner-up and third-place finisher will qualify, with the tournament champion earning a direct place in the Round of 16. The Concacaf Champions Cup serves as the pathway to FIFA international club competitions, providing clubs the opportunity to represent Concacaf on the global stage.
