The Concacaf-sanctioned competition featuring 18 clubs from Major League Soccer and 18 clubs from Liga MX — kicks off tomorrow, August 4, on Apple TV.
The fourth edition of the annual competition between MLS and Liga MX once again brings together top clubs from both leagues in a unique format that guarantees interleague matchups through the quarterfinals. For the first time, the tournament will also include four Phase One matches in Mexico.
Qualified clubs from each league will compete for the Leagues Cup trophy and one of three berths in the 2027 Concacaf Champions Cup, awarded to the champion, runner-up, and third-place finisher. The Leagues Cup Champion will also earn a direct berth into the Concacaf Champions Cup Round of 16, putting the club on the path to FIFA’s premier international club competitions, including the FIFA Club World Cup.
Defending champion Seattle Sounders open their title defense against reigning Concacaf Champions Cup winner Toluca FC on August 5 at 7 p.m. PT at Estadio Nemesio Díez, after capturing their first Leagues Cup title with a 3-0 victory over Inter Miami CF in the 2025 final.
