The Crew qualified for the 2021 Campeones Cup by virtue of winning the 2020 MLS Cup by defeating Seattle Sounders FC 3-0 (December 12) - the largest margin of victory in MLS Cup history. The September 29 contest marks the Club's first appearance in Campeones Cup. Should the Black & Gold win against Cruz Azul, they would win their first-ever international trophy.

Representing LIGA MX, Deportivo Cruz Azul earned a spot in the Campeones Cup after defeating Club Leon and winning its third Campeon de Campeones match - the contest between the winners of LIGA MX's Apertura and Clausura regular seasons, in which Cruz Azul had won the 2021 Clausura title.

Campeones Cup, together with Leagues Cup, are part of a larger partnership between the two most important soccer leagues in North America, MLS and LIGA MX, launched in 2018. To learn more about the Campeones Cup, visit the official website: www.CampeonesCup.com.
