About the 2023 Leagues Cup
When MLS and LigaMX first organized the Leagues Cup, they never could’ve expected the boost in popularity the maiden voyage would receive in the form of Lionel Messi. The Leagues Cup was conceived as a complement to the other North American and Western Hemisphere tournaments following the dissolution of the North American SuperLiga.
For the first time in the four-year history of the event, the Leagues Cup will include all 47 MLS and Liga MX teams, rather than just a select few. The Leagues Cup champion, as well as the second and third-place finishers, will qualify for the CONCACAF Champions League and an opportunity to earn a spot in the FIFA Club World Cup.
