The winner will face Seattle Sounders FC or LAFC in an Aug. 21 semifinal, inching closer to the Aug. 25 final.
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.
- Group Stage: West 5 runner-up
- Round of 32: 3-2 win vs. FC Juárez
- Round of 16: 2-1 win vs. Toluca FC
Darren Yapi's 96th-minute goal sent the Rapids past Toluca and into the quarterfinals, continuing their thrilling Leagues Cup journey.
Head coach Chris Armas has reinvigorated Colorado, who have notched three-straight wins over Mexican opponents. They slipped past Club Léon in penalties before defeating Juárez and Toluca in the knockout rounds.
With midfielder Djordje Mihailovic back from the Paris Olympics and goalkeeper Zack Steffen rounding into form, Colorado aim to knock off the LIGA MX favorites.
- Group Stage: Bye
- Round of 32: 2-1 win vs. Atlas FC
- Round of 16: 4-2 win vs. St. Louis CITY SC
After a Group Stage bye, América's quality pushed them past Atlas FC and St. Louis CITY SC. Former LAFC winger Brian Rodríguez scored twice against St. Louis, sending manager André Jardine's team into the quarterfinals.
This Leagues Cup run is already an improvement on last year, when Nashville SC eliminated América on penalties in the Round of 16.
As the higher seed, the reigning LIGA MX champions are the home side vs. Colorado. They'll host at Dignity Health Sports Park, home of the LA Galaxy.
