This World Cup-style tournament features 47 clubs – 18 from LIGA MX and 29 from MLS – pausing their domestic season for the month-long competition. The winner is crowned champion, and the top three finishers qualify for the 2025 Concacaf Champions Cup.
- West 7 runner-up
The Black & Gold looked like a tournament frontrunner in their group-stage opener, blitzing LIGA MX's Club Tijuana for a 3-0 win. In their next match, they dropped a 4-2 penalty shootout to Vancouver Whitecaps FC after a 2-2 draw.
Olivier Giroud is officially training after being signed by LAFC in May. However, head coach Steve Cherundolo said the legendary French striker won't debut until later in the tournament.
- West 1 winner
Austin FC were a surprise team during the group stage, taking down back-to-back LIGA MX giants in Pumas UNAM and CF Monterrey.
Now, Sebastián Driussi & Co. look to take down an MLS giant in LAFC, who have a blistering 9W-1L-3D record at BMO Stadium. By contrast, Austin are 2W-7L-3D away from Q2 Stadium this season.
