Orlando City and Liga MX performance in Leagues Cup 2026

Overview

Orlando City transitioned from domestic league competition to the Leagues Cup tournament in mid-2026.

In late July, Orlando City secured a 1-0 victory against Nashville SC, ending the league leaders' ten-match unbeaten run. Following this, Orlando City faced Club León in the Leagues Cup, where they suffered a 2-1 comeback defeat after an early goal by Marco Pašalić in the 37th minute. In the second half, Juan Guevara equalized for León with a header, and Daniel Arcila secured the victory for the Mexican side with a strike in the 71st minute. This win placed Club León at the top of Group A with six points, mathematically securing their advancement to the Round of 32. The match also resulted in a knee injury for Pašalić, who was forced to leave the pitch in the 60th minute following a collision.

As the tournament progressed, major Liga MX clubs continued to perform strongly. Club América maintained a perfect record with a 3-1 win over Portland Timbers, featuring goals from Brian Rodríguez, Isaías Violante, and Óscar Perea. Cruz Azul also advanced following a 2-1 victory over New York City FC. Meanwhile, Austin FC defeated Puebla 3-0, and Atlético de San Luis was eliminated after a 4-1 loss to Nashville SC.
