What teams are the playing in Leagues Cup 2025?

Who is playing in the 2025 Leagues Cup: Full List of MLS and Liga MX teams.

The Leagues Cup – the 36-team tournament featuring select clubs from Major League Soccer and Mexico's Liga MX – is back and will kick off with six games on Tuesday, July 29.

This is a modified tournament format from the one used during the last two summers that included every club from MLS and Liga MX. With 18 teams from MLS and 18 teams from Liga MX, at least 94% of the tournament (58 of the 62 possible matches) will feature an MLS club against a Liga MX club before the semifinals.

The MLS clubs participating in Leagues Cup were playoff teams last season, with the exception of expansion side San Diego FC, which is taking the place of the Vancouver Whitecaps.
