MLS, Liga MX plan revamped Leagues Cup in 2023 with all 47 teams

Major League Soccer and Liga MX announced on Tuesday that starting in 2023, the two organizations will take part in a completely revamped Leagues Cup, one that will see every team from each league take part.

All told, 47 teams -- 29 from MLS and 18 from Liga MX -- will pause their seasons for one month in order to compete in the tournament, with the format consisting of a group phase followed by a knockout stage. While many of the details still have to be worked out, it's expected that there will be a significant prize money component for the players.
