Tickets for the highly anticipated 2021 Leagues Cup quarterfinal showdown between Sporting Kansas City and either Club Leon or Chivas at Children's Mercy Park are now available to the general public at SeatGeek.com.
Major League Soccer and LIGA MX announced earlier this week the participants, bracket and schedule for the 2021 Leagues Cup, an annual single-elimination tournament that will again feature premier clubs from MLS and Mexico’s top division and build upon the growing rivalry between both leagues.
As one of four MLS clubs in the high-level international competition, Sporting will host either Club Leon or Chivas on Aug. 10 at 7 p.m. CT. The marquee matchup will be shown live nationally on ESPN2 and TUDN.
Sporting Kansas City will learn its Leagues Cup quarterfinal opponent on July 18 when Club Leon faces Cruz Azul in the 2021 Campeon de Campeones. If Club Leon wins the match, Sporting will host Chivas in the tournament’s opening round and Club Leon will participate in the 2021 Campeones Cup. Should Club Leon lose to Cruz Azul, it will travel to Children’s Mercy Park as the quarterfinal opposition.
The 2021 Leagues Cup will see four MLS clubs matched up against four LIGA MX teams in the quarterfinals, which will unfold from Aug. 10-12. The tournament will be played in its entirety in the United States, with the semifinals slated for Sept. 14-15 and the Leagues Cup Final, to be played at a neutral venue announced in the coming weeks, scheduled for Sept. 22. Further details, including semifinal venues and kickoff times, will be announced following the quarterfinals.
