MLS confirms changes to Open Cup, Leagues Cup participation in 2025
- MLS has announced an increase in teams featuring in the U.S. Open Cup and a decrease in Leagues Cup participation for 2025.
The MLS has announced significant changes to its participation in the U.S. Open Cup and the Leagues Cup starting in 2025. For the U.S. Open Cup, MLS teams will be replaced by their MLS Next Pro teams, effectively removing first teams from the competition to reduce fixture congestion. This decision has stirred controversy, with U.S. Soccer Federation president Cindy Parlow Cone expressing disappointment over the lack of collaboration. Meanwhile, the Leagues Cup, which involves teams from MLS and Liga MX, will see an expansion to include all 48 teams from both leagues, with the tournament now acting as a qualifier for the CONCACAF Champions Cup. The changes aim to streamline the soccer calendar and enhance the competitiveness of the Leagues Cup, although they have sparked debate about the future of the U.S. Open Cup.
