The Leagues Cup — the 47-team tournament featuring every club from Major League Soccer and Mexico's Liga MX — is back and will kick off with five games on Friday.
Both leagues have halted regular-season play to participate in the tournament, which will hold the championship game on Aug. 25. All 77 matches will be held either in the United States or Canada.
Automatic Concacaf Champions League bids are on the line, as well as territorial bragging rights, as North America's top two soccer leagues take part in the World Cup-style competition.
Inter Miami CF, thanks to last summer's arrival of the soccer G.O.A.T. Lionel Messi, won the 2023 edition of the Leagues Cup.
