The Leagues Cup, first introduced in 2019, pits the best clubs from Major League Soccer against those from Mexico’s top professional league, Liga MX. It has led to some exciting action, as it gives each league the chance to earn bragging rights, along with the opportunity for clubs to take home a trophy.

The Galaxy, who defeated Club Tijuana in their opening game of the tournament, are wary of their Liga MX opponent after its 7-0 loss to Seattle.
