The Leagues Cup, the new club soccer competition featuring teams from Major League Soccer (MLS) and Liga MX, is doubling its number of teams to 16 for the 2020 edition of the tournament, reports, www.sportspromedia.com/.

The number of clubs from the two top divisions competing in the Leagues Cup will be split equally between the two leagues.

For the MLS, sides who finish in the top four of the Eastern or Western Conference during the regular season and are not competing in the 2020 Concacaf Champions League will qualify.

The eight Liga MX clubs will consist of the 2019 Apertura champion, the 2020 Clausura champion, the 2019/20 Copa MX winner and the top five teams in the combined Apertura 2019-Clausura 2020 regular season standings who have not already qualified for the Leagues Cup.
