The 2024 Leagues Cup group stage consisted of a total of 45 teams competing across 15 groups to decide 30 of the 32 places in the knockout stage of the 2024 Leagues Cup. [1]
In each of the 15 groups, teams played against each other in a round-robin format. The top two teams of each group advanced to the round of 32. [2]
Besides the teams receiving byes, the top 15 remaining teams from each league were placed into groups in reverse order (for example, the 2nd-ranked MLS club was drawn against the 16th-ranked Liga MX club). The remaining teams (13 MLS and 2 Liga MX) were drawn into groups and divided into geographical regions. [3]
Teams were ranked according to points (3 points for a win in regulation, 2 points for a win in a penalty shoot-out, 1 point for a loss in a penalty shoot-out, 0 points for a loss in regulation). [2] If, at the end of the group stage, two or more clubs were tied in points, their positions in the table was determined according to a set of tie-breaking criteria. [4]
The matches were played on July 26–28, July 30–August 1, and August 3–6, 2024.
Times are EDT, as listed by CONCACAF (local times, if different, are in parentheses).
