Lionel Messi's Inter Miami will face Mexican sides Atletico San Luis, Monterrey and Leon on the first phase of the 2026 Leagues Cup, which will feature matches in Mexico for the first time.
The fourth edition of the tournament featuring clubs from Major League Soccer and Liga MX will be played August 4-September 6, kicking off less than three weeks after the World Cup co-hosted by the United States, Mexico and Canada ends.
Inter Miami, champions in 2023 is among 18 MLS clubs that will compete with 18 Mexican clubs trying to bring the trophy to Mexico for the first time.
The Columbus Crew captured the title in 2024 and last year the Seattle Sounders topped Inter Miami in the final.
The 36 participants will be divided into two groups, one from MLS and one Mexican, and the top eight will advance to the quarter-finals, with cross-league matchups in each bracket.
The tournament will award three berths to the 2027 CONCACAF Champions Cup, with the champion qualifying directly for the round of 16 of that competition.
