Club América faces Minnesota United on Saturday in Houston as the 2025 Leagues Cup continues.

América opened the competition with a loss to Real Salt Lake in penalties following a 2-2 draw over 90 minutes.

18 MLS teams and 18 teams from Liga MX are involved in the Leagues Cup year, in contrast to the previous two years when every team from each league was involved.

The teams are split into two league-specific tables. The top four MLS teams and top four Liga MX teams will advance to the quarterfinals.

That means that América enters Saturday’s game in dire need of a win, with just four of 18 teams from each league advancing.
