The 2020 Leagues Cup was planned to be the second edition of the Leagues Cup organized by Major League Soccer and the Mexican Football Federation.[1] The tournament would have featured 16 teams, an increase from the inaugural edition that had eight teams. Cruz Azul won the previous tournament.

Major League Soccer announced the cancelation of the tournament on May 19, 2020, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[2]

Qualification

Draw

The 2020 edition of the Leagues Cup was planned to be the first to use a draw and seeding for participating teams. The initial draw would have matched up an MLS team against a Liga MX team in the Round of 16, while a second draw before the quarterfinals would have allowed for reseeding and adjustments to allow for interleague play.[3][4]
