Tigres UANL has progressed through the group stage of the 2026 Leagues Cup following consecutive penalty shootout victories.

On August 6, Tigres secured an extra point after a 0-0 draw with Minnesota United FC, winning 4-2 in penalties. Goalkeeper Nahuel Guzmán played a decisive role by making a save during regular time and stopping two spot-kicks. The club also noted the resignation of head coach Guido Pizarro and a new contract for striker André-Pierre Gignac.

Following this, Tigres defeated the Vancouver Whitecaps in a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw. While Rodrigo Aguirre scored for Tigres, Emmanuel Sabbi equalized for Vancouver. The match was characterized by disciplinary incidents involving the Mexican side; goalkeeper Nahuel Guzmán was sent off following an altercation with referee Iván Barton and reportedly struck objects in the tunnel. Diego Lainez was also ejected. These results have placed Tigres on the verge of quarter-final qualification, pending the outcomes of matches involving Monterrey and Toluca.
