Leagues Cup 2026: Standings and Knockout Race After Two Rounds
The Leagues Cup 2026 group stage is nearing its end as some clubs secure their spots while others fight for a Quarter-Final berth.
The Leagues Cup 2026 has reached the final stage of its opening phase. With two rounds completed, the first qualified teams are already emerging, while others face a tense final matchday to determine their path to the Quarter-Finals.
In Liga MX, Leon stands out as the only team to have won all three matches so far. Toluca has also secured its ticket to the next phase, leveraging their home advantage at the Estadio Nemesio Diez. Meanwhile, Club America and Cruz Azul are in a position to follow suit with a win in their next fixtures.
The situation in MLS is equally compelling. Columbus Crew and Real Salt Lake have clinched their spots in the next round. However, Austin and Chicago Fire could shake up the standings if they win their upcoming matches, potentially maintaining a perfect record in the tournament and complicating the qualification path for their Liga MX counterparts.
The final round will feature high-stakes duels, such as Austin facing America and Chicago Fire taking on Cruz Azul. With only the top eight teams from the combined standings advancing, every point and goal differential will be decisive in the race for the title.
