Inter Miami will host the winner of Liga MX at Nu Stadium on September 16 for the Champions Cup, which every year pits the winners of MLS and the Mexican tournament against each other. The winner will be selected from a July clash between Toluca and Cruz Azul.
Toluca lifted the last Mexican Apertura, while Cruz Azul won the Clausura, and they will meet for the outright title on July 25 in California.
