2019 Leagues Cup

Leagues Cup is a new, annual competition between clubs from Major League Soccer and Liga MX. Sanctioned by Concacaf, the tournament will debut in July 2019 and culminate with a final in September.[1]

Format

The inaugural edition of Leagues Cup features four clubs from each league in an eight-team single-elimination tournament. 2019 Leagues Cup play begins with quarterfinal matches on July at the stadiums of the MLS clubs. The semifinals are on August at venues to be determined based on quarterfinal results. The final is on Wednesday, September 18, at a U.S. venue to be announced. While sporting criteria will determine participants for both leagues in future editions of Leagues Cup, for the inaugural 2019 edition, the four Liga MX clubs were selected based on results in recent competitions, while the four MLS club participants were invited to compete. All participating clubs have won domestic titles.[2]
