Inter Miami vs. Atlas: How to watch Leagues Cup, TV channel, live stream
The competition has a new format this year, which is designed to feature more matchups between MLS and Liga MX teams. Phase One of the competition will exclusively feature matchups with one team from each league, as will the quarterfinals.
18 MLS teams and 18 teams from Liga MX will be involved this year, in contrast to the previous two years when every team from each league was involved.
The teams will be split into two league-specific tables. The top four MLS teams and top four Liga MX teams will advance to the quarterfinal.
Games won't end in ties. If matches are level after 90 minutes, the teams will go to a penalty shootout.
Inter Miami returns after winning the inaugural Leagues Cup in 2023. With Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba back from suspension and Rodrigo De Paul ready to debut, the Herons will be among the favorites.
Atlas, meanwhile, has started the new Liga MX season with a 1W-1D-1L record.
Here is everything you need to know ahead of the match.

🚨 BREAKING: NYCFC bank comfortable Leagues Cup win over León
The 2025 Leagues Cup continued in the wake of a historic night, with plenty of action on the docket as MLS and Liga MX square off in this entertaining competitive sidebar. Here is how the action broke down across the first two fixtures on the night. Martínez remains hot in vital Pigeons winScorers: Martínez 7', Ojeda 32' Pascal Jansen's NYCFC finally got off the mark in the Leagues Cup with a comfortable 2-0 win over Liga MX outfit León. Alonso Martínez continued his recent goalscoring form with a tap-in finish from inside the six-yard box, after getting on the end of Justin Haak's flicked header from a corner in the seventh minute. A fantastic team goal would see Agustín Ojeda convert from close range just after the half-hour mark to make it 2-0 when he turned home a cut-back ball from Martínez to bag his first goal of 2025. León had a golden chance to get back in the thick of the fight in the 58th minute when Los Panzas Verdes were awarded a penalty for a handball in the box by Strahinja Tanasijević. Matt Freese had other ideas, however, coming up with a huge save to deny James Rodríguez from the spot to keep the scoreline as it stood while guaranteeing a three-point haul that would pull them out of the basement in the league phase of the competition.

Messi bodyguard banned from Leagues Cup after Inter Miami-Atlas scuffle
One of the most familiar faces at Inter Miami games is set to miss some time, and this time it's not Lionel Messi. Messi's bodyguard Yassine Cheuko will be suspended for the duration of the 2025 Leagues Cup after entering the field of play without authorization amid a post-game scuffle. In a press release on Friday, Aug. 1, Leagues Cup — a competition between clubs from MLS and Mexico's Liga MX — said that "a member of Inter Miami's club delegation displayed improper conduct by entering restricted areas without an official event credential." People with knowledge of the situation have confirmed to USA TODAY Sports that the person in question is Cheuko. The persons requested anonymity since Cheuko's name was not publicly announced in the release. Cheuko has become a well-known presence on the touchline at Inter Miami matches since Messi arrived in MLS in 2023. Generally, his role has been to stop pitch invaders from reaching Messi, whose popularity has tested MLS security measures in a way the league has not previously encountered. ANALYSIS: Messi needs to find his groove again to lead Inter Miami in Leagues Cup The Leagues Cup disciplinary committee announced that it had "suspended the individual involved from all technical areas for the remainder of Leagues Cup 2025 and issued an undisclosed fine to Inter Miami CF." The incident in question came after a dramatic 2-1 Miami win over Atlas on Wednesday, July 30, with Messi setting up Marcelo Weigandt for a game-winning goal six minutes into second-half stoppage time. Weigandt's goal was initially chalked off, but VAR overturned that call, awarding the Herons a win. It was a remarkable end to a fiery game that had seen players and coaches from both sides jawing at one another, and Messi let Atlas' Matías Cóccaro hear it while celebrating with new teammate Rodrigo De Paul. With the full time whistle coming seconds later, the normal post-game handshakes and hugs devolved momentarily, Cheuko was seen among the scuffling players and team staffers, at one point shoving Atlas defender Jorge San Martín. NEW: Leagues Cup is set to discipline a member of Inter Miami's staff for entering the pitch during their last match. There's also a fine Yassine Cheuko, known online as Messi's bodyguard. He'll be banned from Leagues Cup matches. The incident is not the first in which Cheuko's presence has drawn pushback. In April, Miami told USA TODAY Sports that the bodyguard would no longer be on the touchline during the club's MLS matches. At the time, Cheuko had said he was "banned" from the field, though Miami said he would remain a club employee. It's also the latest bit of friction between Messi's camp and MLS, who along with Liga MX, organizes Leagues Cup. Last week, the Argentine icon and teammate Jordi Alba were suspended for one match after not participating in the MLS All-Star Game. Miami owner Jorge Mas cited the need to rest Messi in the face of the Herons' unusually demanding schedule, and said Messi was "very upset" after MLS decided to enforce a rule requiring healthy players to participate if named to the All-Star roster.
