SANTA CLARA, Calif. – The official Leagues Cup 2024 Group Stage schedule and tournament’s hub venues were unveiled today, along with the Bracket Announcement presented by Coors Light. The second edition of this Concacaf-sanctioned competition features all 18 clubs from the Mexican league, LIGA MX, and all 29 clubs from Major League Soccer (MLS) representing the U.S. and Canada. These 47 clubs will compete in a World Cup-style club tournament from July 26 to August 25, 2024.

 The San Jose Earthquakes will face LIGA MX side Club Deportivo Guadalajara, also known as Chivas, on Saturday, July 27, at Levi’s® Stadium at 7 p.m. PT. Due to tournament seeding, Chivas will be the home side against San Jose.

The momentous match against Chivas at Levi’s® Stadium, which will mark the Mexican giants’ first-ever trip to the Bay Area for an official game, features global star Javier “Chicharito” Hernández and the much-anticipated return of former MLS All-Star and current U.S. Men’s National team forward Cade Cowell. A Quakes Academy graduate, the 20-year-old made the move to Guadalajara for a club-record multimillion-dollar fee in January after spending his first five seasons as a professional with San Jose (2019-23).

In last year’s Leagues Cup Group Stage, the Quakes took on fellow MLS side Portland Timbers on the road before facing Tigres UANL of LIGA MX in front of 18,000 fans at a sold-out PayPal Park.

Single-game tickets will be made available to the general public on Wednesday, March 27, at 10 a.m. PT.  on Ticketmaster. Earthquakes Season Ticket Holders will have Group Stage matches as part of their season-ticket package, as well as an exclusive presale for additional tickets beginning on Monday, March 25, at 10 a.m. PT.
