The NWSL and Liga MX Femenil are joining forces for the inaugural edition of the Summer Cup, which kicked off on July 19 in a unique showdown between two of North America’s top women’s soccer leagues.
The Summer Cup will initially take place during the NWSL’s regular season break for the Olympics, but the competition finals will take place in the fall. CPKC Stadium in Kansas City, which will also host this year’s NWSL Championship, will host the semifinals on August 6, while Toyota Field in San Antonio will welcome the finalists on October 25.
All 14 NWSL teams will participate in the competition, while the top six Liga MX Femenil teams based on their combined points totals from the 2023 Clausura and Apertura tournaments qualified for the Summer Cup. The twenty teams are divided into five groups of four, with the top four teams with the most points in the group stage advancing to the semi-finals.
You can watch all the action across CBS Sports platforms, including on Biggest+CBS Sports Golazo Network and CBS Sports Network.
Here’s a look at the schedule for the first NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup.
