The 2024 Leagues Cup field is now set following the announcement of all 15 groups for the latest edition of the summer competition.
All 47 MLS and Liga MX clubs will once again be taking part in the tournament this summer, with MLS Cup winners Columbus Crew and Liga MX Apertura winners Club America earning a bye to the Round of 32. The remaining 45 teams have been divided up into two regions (East and West).
The annual competition will run from July 26 to August 25, in which both MLS and Liga MX will pause their respective seasons. Both of the tournament finalists, including the third-place finisher will clinch berths into the 2025 CONCACAF Champions Cup.
The Leagues Cup winners will qualify directly for the Champions Cup Round of 16.
Each club in the group stage will play a minimum of two matches, with the top-two finishers advancing into the knockout stage. The knockout round will be single-game elimination format and will run from the Round of 32 all the way through to the tournament final on Aug. 25.
There will be no ties in group stage play with each team earning one point if the result is level after 90 minutes. The winner of the subsequent penalty shootout will receive one additional point, and regulation victories are worth three points.
