NEW YORK CITY AND MEXICO CITY (May 4, 2022) – Major League Soccer (MLS) and LIGA MX have confirmed the details for the 2022 Campeones Cup – the annual clash between the reigning MLS and Liga MX Champions.

In its fourth edition, the 2022 Campeones Cup will feature the reigning MLS Cup champion New York City FC, against the winner of LIGA MX’s Campeón de Campeones, which will be played this summer between Atlas FC (champion of the 2021 Apertura) and the winner of the 2022 Clausura regular season.
Campeones Cup, together with Leagues Cup, are part of a larger partnership between the two most important soccer leagues in North America, MLS and LIGA MX, launched in 2018. The partnership is rooted not only in the on-field rivalry, designed to strengthen the sport in the region, but by a true spirit of collaboration off it, with a focus on sharing best practices and on being a force for positive change in the local communities of both leagues.
In this spirit and as has been the case in previous editions of Campeones Cup, MLS and LIGA MX also confirmed they will host a community service project in New York City to give back to the local community as part of Campeones Cup. Details of the event will be announced at a later date.
MLS leads two wins to one in all-time Campeones Cup history against LIGA MX. Tigres UANL conquered Toronto FC in the inaugural 2018 edition, Atlanta United defeated Club América 3-2 in the exciting 2019 match, and the Columbus Crew resoundingly defeated Cruz Azul 2-0 in the 2021 edition.
Campeones Cup is sponsored by BODYARMOR, Buchanan’s, Crest and Dawn, and will be broadcast on Univision and ESPN2 in the United States and TUDN platforms in Mexico.
