Santos Laguna and Atlas owner Alejandro Irarragorri says he believes that combining Liga MX and MLS would be a mutually beneficial move for the two leagues as the idea of a North American “super league” is one that remains a hot topic.
MLS and Liga MX announced a formal partnership in 2018, with the two leagues coming together for an annual Leagues Cup, a tournament featuring teams from the two leagues, and Campeones Cup, which features a one-off match between the winners of each league.
In addition, the MLS All-Stars has been scheduled to face off with the Liga MX All-Stars in this summer's All-Star Game, which is set to be hosted in Los Angeles.
