Leagues Cup TV schedule
How the Leagues Cup works
Our Leagues Cup TV Schedule has all the listings for the annual tournament featuring clubs from the USA’s Major League Soccer and Mexico’s Liga MX.
Started in 2019 as a replacement for the old SuperLiga competition, the tournament is an opportunity for teams from the top two leagues in North America to come together. Originally, this was a competition that only featured select teams from each league. In fact, in both 2019 and 2021, the competitions had just eight teams playing single-elimination bracket.
However, starting with the 2023 edition of the tournament, the competition expanded vastly. The tournament includes every team in MLS and Liga MX. Therefore, 47 teams compete in the competition.
Both MLS and Liga MX pause their respective seasons for an entire month. Plus, there are legitimate prizes at stake. The winner of the Leagues Cup clinches a spot in the CONCACAF Champions League round of 16. The runner-up and third-place finisher earn a spot in the CCL opening round for the following year.

Originally Leagues Cup was an eight-team mini-tournament, and in 2022 was a one-time “Showcase” event with only a few matches due to schedule congestion. But starting in 2023 it expanded to include every club in Liga MX and MLS, and is now an official part of the new Concacaf club ecosystem, with the tournament sending its champion and 2nd/3rd place sides to the following year’s Champions League.
The revamped tournament will take place in the summer, during a month-long break in both league’s seasons.
