Leagues Cup, the first in-season club tournament in North America across all men’s professional sports, begins today, July 29, and MLS Season Pass on Apple TV is the only place where fans in over 100 countries and regions can watch every match. Entering its third year, Leagues Cup will be played in two rounds: Phase One, which begins on July 29, and the knockout round, which will end with the Leagues Cup Final on August 31. For 2025, the tournament introduces a new format featuring MLS vs. Liga MX matchups exclusively throughout Phase One and the Quarterfinals stage. Leagues Cup 2025 will feature 62 matches in total, with no ties. The MLS and Liga MX regular seasons will continue through the month of August, with most Leagues Cup knockout matches played midweek. The monthlong tournament concludes with the top three teams receiving automatic bids to the 2026 Concacaf Champions Cup, with a chance to represent the confederation at the FIFA Club World Cup. “I’m very excited to play in the Leagues Cup with San Diego FC,” said San Diego FC forward Hirving “Chucky” Lozano in a statement. “It’s going to be a great tournament between MLS and Liga MX, and a perfect opportunity to show what San Diego is made of.” “I made my debut with Rayados de Monterrey during Leagues Cup, so the tournament holds special meaning for me,” said C.F. Monterrey midfielder Sergio Canales in a statement. “The arrival of more high-profile players in both leagues has only elevated its level. It will continue to gain popularity and grow in the years to come.” Columbus Crew took home the 2024 Leagues Cup trophy, besting Los Angeles Football Club in dramatic fashion by breaking a 1-1 deadlock with two goals in stoppage time to claim the title. During Leagues Cup 2023, Lionel Messi made his debut for Inter Miami CF and scored 10 goals in just seven matches, earning him Leagues Cup Golden Boot and MVP accolades after he helped his club secure the inaugural tournament title.
