The 2023 Leagues Cup is the third edition of the Leagues Cup, an international club soccer tournament between Major League Soccer (MLS) and Liga MX. It is being held from July 21 to August 19, 2023, with all 77 matches held in either the United States or Canada. The tournament is organized by MLS and the Mexican Football Federation and sanctioned by CONCACAF, the continental governing body for the sport in North America.[1]
For the first time in the history of the competition, all MLS and Liga MX teams (47 total) are competing in the tournament, with both leagues taking a pause in their respective seasons to compete in the tournament.[2] In addition, the Leagues Cup finalists and third-place team earn berths to the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup, with the winner automatically advancing to that tournament's Round of 16.
Format
The 2023 Leagues Cup is the first edition where all MLS and Liga MX teams participate. The MLS Cup 2022 winner and the 2022 Clausura or 2022 Apertura champion with the highest aggregate points accumulated across 2022 qualify automatically for the Round of 32. The remaining 45 teams have been placed into 15 groups of three.[3][4][5][6]
For the group stage, teams play one match against each team in their group. Regulation wins are worth three points and regulation losses are zero points. Matches tied after 90 minutes advance to a penalty shootout where the winner earns two points and the loser earns one. All matches will be held in either the United States or Canada, with the MLS teams playing at home and intra-Liga MX matches played at MLS venues depending on their region.[1][3][4][5][6]
Tie-breaking criteria for group play |
---|
The ranking of teams in the group stage is determined as follows:[7]: 13
|
The top two teams in each group advance to the Round of 32, joining the MLS Cup winners and highest-ranked Liga MX champion. This phase of the tournament will be a five-round single-leg knockout format with a third place match. As is the case during the group stage, knockout stage matches tied after 90 minutes, will be decided by a penalty shootout.[7]: 14 The two finalists and third place team will earn berths for the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup, with the winner automatically advancing to the CCL Round of 16.[1]
Teams and draw
The competition features all 47 clubs from the two leagues: 29 from MLS and 18 from Liga MX.[8] Teams are ranked by league using the 2022 Supporters' Shield standings for MLS and the 2022 aggregate table for Liga MX. The champions of each league receive a bye to the knockout stage as the 1st-ranked seed. The top-15 remaining teams from each league are placed into groups based on ranking and in reverse order (for example, the 2nd ranked MLS club is drawn against the 16th ranked Liga MX club). The remaining teams (13 MLS and 2 Liga MX) are drawn into groups and divided into geographical regions.[3]
- ^ St. Louis City SC joined Major League Soccer in 2023 and therefore had no 2022 season ranking.
