Liga MX President Mikel Arriola said that the Leagues Cup will "adopt a new format in 2025, eliminating the month-long pause for the competition and opting instead for mid-week matches." The previous two editions forced Liga MX and MLS to pause the regular season in the summer for a month as teams faced each other. Sources said that Mexican teams "voiced concerns over yet another interruption by the inter-league tournament, actively demanding a change for 2025." In the upcoming edition, all Liga MX and MLS teams will "participate in mid-week matches throughout he summer" (ESPN, 12/15).
