San Diego FC Announces Its 2026 Leagues Cup Schedule

San Diego, March 5. — One of the most controversial tournaments in recent years is undoubtedly the Leagues Cup, the competition that brings together teams from Liga MX and MLS in a high-intensity tournament that has sparked debate since its creation.

A tournament surrounded by debate

One of the most discussed aspects of the tournament has been that matches were played exclusively in the United States. However, for this edition, the rules will change, and several games will now be played in Mexico, specifically in Mexico City, Monterrey, and Toluca, adding a new dimension to the competition.

San Diego FC’s second appearance

For San Diego FC, this will be the club’s second participation in the tournament. In the previous edition, the team had mixed results after falling 3-2 to Pachuca and 2-1 to Tigres at Snapdragon Stadium.

Despite those losses, the club managed to close with a 2-0 victory over Mazatlán, allowing them to finish the tournament with positive momentum before focusing again on the MLS season.

A high-profile match in Mexico against América

For the 2026 Leagues Cup, the California club will have a mixed schedule, as one of their matches will take place in Mexico when they face Club América, a matchup that promises to be a high-intensity clash between two clubs with large fan bases.
