How the Leagues Cup works right now

The Leagues Cup pits Major League Soccer clubs against Liga MX teams in a summer tournament format. It mixes group-stage action with knockout rounds, which creates quick, high-stakes matches where underdogs can upset big names. The format has changed over time to include more clubs, but the core idea stays the same: exciting, cross-border matchups that matter for bragging rights and momentum heading into the regular season.

Expect matches that are more attacking and open than typical league games. Teams treat the Leagues Cup as both a trophy chance and a proving ground for new signings or tactical ideas. That means you’ll often see star players used more, especially once clubs want to make a statement. If you follow transfer news, the tournament gives clues about which players are ready to perform under pressure.
