Who Won the U.S. Presidential Debate?

The NWSL and Liga MX Femenil are joining forces for the first edition of the Summer Cup, which kicked off on July 19 in a first-of-its-kind face-off between two of North America’s top women’s soccer leagues.

The Summer Cup initially takes place during the NWSL’s regular season break for the Olympics, but the final of the competition will take place in the fall. Kansas City’s CPKC Stadium, which will also host this year’s NWSL Championship, will host the semifinals on Aug. 6 while San Antonio’s Toyota Field will welcome the finalists on Oct. 25.

All 14 NWSL teams are taking part in the competition, while the six best Liga MX Femenil teams based on their combined points totals from 2023s’ Clausura and Apertura tournaments qualified for the Summer Cup. The 20 teams are divided into five groups of four, with the top four teams with the most points in the group stage advancing to the semifinals.

Here’s a glance at the schedule for the inaugural NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup.
