Leagues Cup 2025 features 36 clubs: all 18 Liga MX teams and the top 18 MLS teams from the 2024 season (based on playoff qualification). The group stage, called Phase One, only includes MLS vs. Liga MX matchups — no intra-league games. Each team plays three group-stage matches. After that, the top four teams from each league advance to the knockout rounds. The top three teams overall qualify for the 2026 Concacaf Champions Cup.
