There will need to be a winner on the day during each of the knockout rounds, beginning with the Round of 32, followed by the Round of 16, quarterfinals, semifinals, third-place match and final. Lionel Messi and Inter Miami will be looking to defend the title they won in 2023 (photo above).

If any match ends in a draw after 90 minutes, it will go straight to penalty kicks. No extra time will be used during Leagues Cup.

There are also rules in place for how the host will be determined for any given matchup in the knockout rounds:

  • The Columbus Crew (MLS champion) will automatically host in every round, including the final;
  • Club America (Liga MX champion) will automatically host matches (in their designated U.S. hub) in every round up to the semifinals only;
  • MLS vs. Liga MX: The MLS club will automatically host against a Liga MX club except if the opponents are Club America (through semifinals only), Monterrey (through Round of 16 only) or Chivas (Round of 32 only), who would each host in their designated U.S. hub;
  • MLS vs. MLS: The MLS club with the best 2023 Supporters’ Shield ranking would host an MLS vs. MLS matchup (except in the case of Columbus, which automatically hosts in all rounds);
  • Liga MX vs. Liga MX: Tournament organizers decide the host for Liga MX vs. Liga MX matchups.
