Leagues Cup 2025 Format

Leagues Cup 2025 is played in two rounds: Phase One and the Knockout Rounds.

The Leagues Cup 2025 Phase One featured all 18 Liga MX teams and the top 18 qualifying clubs from MLS. Teams were divided into Eastern and Western regions and grouped into tiers based on 2024 league performance. Despite facing teams from the opposite league, MLS and Liga MX clubs competed in a league-specific table, with teams earning points within their league-specific tables.

Each side played three Phase One matches against teams from the opposing league with no draws allowed. Matches that ended with the score level went straight to penalty shootouts with both teams receiving a point and the winner of the shootout receiving an additional point. The top four clubs from each league-specific table advanced to the Knockout Round. From here on out, it's a single-elimination format to reach the Leagues Cup Final on Aug. 31.
