Major League Soccer and Liga MX aren’t merging just yet, but today’s news sure feels like a step in that direction. The two leagues, along with Concacaf announced a new format to the now annual Leagues Cup tournament that takes place over the summer.
Starting in 2023, every single club from MLS, including FC Dallas, and Liga MX will participate in a World Cup-style Leagues Cup. Both leagues will pause their season for one month to participate in this new collective tournament.
Not only will some regional supremacy be at stake but so will three Concacaf Champions League spots be on the line.
