(Reuters) -Every Major League Soccer (MLS) and Liga MX club will pause their seasons in the summer of 2023 to participate in an expanded Leagues Cup - growing to 47 teams from eight - as the North American leagues continue to integrate, officials said on Tuesday.
The tournament - featuring 29 teams from MLS and 18 from Mexico's Liga MX - will be held in the United States and is intended to showcase the sport in the region in the years leading up to the 2026 World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
