Garber expecting more MLS-Liga MX interleague competition

MLS Commissioner Don Garber expects to see more fruit next year from a partnership his league announced with Liga MX in March of 2018.

Prior to Garber's State of the League address, MLS confirmed that Campeones Cup, which pits the MLS Cup champion against Liga MX's Campeon de Camepones winner, will take place August 14 of next year and be hosted by the winner of MLS Cup.

But with both leagues looking to make inroads with fans in other North American countries and the 2026 World Cup hosted in the U.S., Mexico and Canada quickly approaching, the one-off match is set to be joined by more matches between teams from North America's top leagues.
