LAFC Concludes First Phase of Leagues Cup against Tigres at BMO Stadium on Tuesday

Los Angeles FC News Release


LAFC will conclude Phase One of Leagues Cup play against Liga MX powerhouse Tigres at BMO Stadium on Tuesday night. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m., and the match will be available on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV with additional radio coverage on 710 AM ESPN, the ESPN App and 980 AM La Mera Mera.

LAFC has drawn its first two matches of Phase One, earning a point against Mazatlán on July 29 and two against Pachuca on Aug. 1 thanks to a 4-2 penalty kick shootout victory. Sitting on three points, the Black & Gold can finish Phase One with a maximum of six points should the club defeat Tigres. That total would give the team a chance of advancing to the Knockout Phase, but it would need other results to redound in its favor.

Tuesday's meeting will be the third between LAFC and Tigres in official competition with the Black & Gold holding a 0-1-1 all-time record against the Mexican giants. The clubs first met in the 2020 Concacaf Champions Cup (then League) final with Tigres claiming a 2-1 win. The pair faced off again in the 2023 Campeones Cup final, which resulted in a 0-0 draw before Tigres won 4-2 in the penalty kick shootout.

Throughout Leagues Cup, fans can get to know more about the Black & Gold on LAFC Weekly, a 30-minute magazine show that gives viewers an in-depth look at the club every Saturday night at 10 p.m. on FOX 11 Plus (KCOP-TV Ch. 13).
