Phase One of the 2026 Leagues Cup is almost complete, with the remaining teams in contention from MLS and Liga MX jockeying for position to either hold on to or sneak into one of the top four spots in their respective leagues and advance to the knockout round. One of the seven matches on Wednesday’s slate features Inter Miami hosting Club León at Nu Stadium in South Florida, with both clubs trying to secure a spot among the top four teams in their respective leagues.
Club León is in a favorable position to advance to the knockout round on the Liga MX side of the standings, currently sitting third with six points and a +2 goal differential following a 1-0 shutout win over Nashville SC and a 2-1 victory over Orlando City SC. Daniel Arcila has scored a goal in each match, while goalkeeper Óscar García has recorded four saves and allowed just one goal through two matches.
Inter Miami currently owns the second-most points in MLS behind only Nashville, but the club is on the brink of elimination from Leagues Cup competition with a 1-1 record and three points heading into its final match of Phase One. Inter Miami won its opener 4-2 against Atlético de San Luis behind Lionel Messi’s two-goal performance but was unable to defeat Monterrey on Saturday, falling 2-1 with Messi out of the lineup after he traveled to Argentina following the death of his father, Jorge.
There’s plenty on the line in what will certainly be another emotional match in Miami on Wednesday night.
