Match Preview: What’s at stake?

Club America opens its Leagues Cup campaign at Estadio Banorte, becoming one of the first Liga MX clubs to host a Phase One match in Mexico under the tournament’s new format.

They enter the tournament as the No. 3 team in the 2026 Leagues Cup Ranking, behind only Toluca and Tigres. That position earned Las Aguilas the right to host one Phase One match at Estadio Banorte, making them one of only three Liga MX clubs to receive home-field advantage during the opening stage.

The stakes are significant because every team plays only three Phase One matches, all against clubs from the opposite league. There are no draws in the competition: teams receive three points for a regulation win, while games level after 90 minutes go directly to penalties, with the shootout winner earning an additional point.

Only the top-performing clubs from each league qualify for the quarterfinals, meaning even a single dropped result can dramatically impact a team’s chances of advancing. This is also a measuring-stick game between two ambitious clubs.

America enters the tournament as one of Liga MX‘s highest-ranked teams and a perennial title contender, while San Diego FC has quickly become one of MLS‘ most competitive expansion sides.

Tune in to MLS League Pass on Apple TV to catch the 2025 MLS regular season showdown between LA Galaxy and San Diego, live in the USA.

San Diego FC is slated to play in MLS as of the 2025 season and will be the 30th team in the league, although rumors indicate that they won’t be the last. San Diego FC is looking to make a big splash in the community, and Chucky Lozano will be a big part of that.

Lozano’s move to MLS will involve a transfer fee rumored to be in the $10 million range, as well as signing a lucrative contract with the club. The deal is reported to be for four years.

What is Hirving Lozano’s rumored MLS salary?

According to AS, Hirving Lozano’s MLS salary is reported to be in the range of $7-9 million. Lozano would almost automatically become the third-highest-paid player in the league if he makes in the $9 million range.

Lozano would be yet another high-priced Mexican import in a long line of name Mexican players who have usually flopped in MLS. Carlos Vela, Jorge Campos, and Cuauhtémoc Blanco stand out as the best imports from Mexico in MLS history.

Some of the flops include Rafa Marquez, Javier Hernández, Nery Castillo, Luis Ángel Landín, and Giovani dos Santos.
