Club America vs. Real Salt Lake: 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.
América is aiming to get past the disappointment of last year, when it received an automatic bye to the round of 32 but fell to the Colorado Rapids in a penalty shootout in the quarterfinal.
Real Salt Lake also had a frustrating 2024 Leagues Cup, falling short of the knockout phase after finishing bottom of its three-team group.
Pablo Mastroeni's side enters this match with some momentum, having posted a 5W-1D-1L record in its past seven league matches. América has started the Liga MX season with one win and two draws in three games.
Here is everything you need to know ahead of the match.

'10 out of 10' - Tim Howard hails Son Heung-Min to LAFC and Thomas Muller to Vancouver Whitecaps, calls moves transformational
Howard emphasizes Son's competitive drive Highlights Muller's winning mentality Predicts both will maintain performance levels WHAT HAPPENED In the wake of two recent high-profile transfers for MLS - Son Heung-Min from Tottenham to LAFC and Thomas Muller from Bayern Munich to the Vancouver Whitecaps - former USMNT star Tim Howard praised the signings. 'You're not going to get bigger Son fan than me,' Howard said on the Unfiltered Soccer podcast with Landon Donovan. 'I think the guy is awesome. I mean he's a 10 out of 10 for me... Sonny is going to be a guy who is in it, who wants to win, who cares about winning. And by the way, as an aside, his following is stupid. I mean, if you've watched North London at a Tottenham game when he was there, I mean this guy is adored across the world... "LAFC is going to see an influx of that following which is really awesome. And I think it's a good signing. He still has legs in him, he still has the ability to carry games, to score, to get in dangerous situations. I mean, he's as clinical as they come. So I think it's a really good signing excited for it.' WHAT HOWARD SAID Regarding Muller's move to Vancouver, Howard characterized the German World Cup winner's arrival as a significant achievement for the Canadian club. 'The Thomas Muller thing is interesting because he's weird - and I don't mean that in a bad way - like the guy loves to speak, he loves the compete," he said. "Like no matter whether he was aging with the national team, or with Bayern Munich, he desperately wants to be on the field and desperately wants to score and he's got this like, real infectious attitude and I think it's great... he's going into a team that's playing really, really well. So actually you don't have the carry a team, don't have to lead - the team's already going well. This is like a nice cherry on top. " THE BIGGER PICTURE Both Son and Muller made the move to MLS directly from Champions League-level competition, rather than after intermediate career steps. WHAT'S NEXT? Son could make his full LAFC debut against the New England Revolution on Aug. 16 after coming on as a substitute in his first game. Muller is likely to make his debut for the Vancouver Whitecaps against the Houston Dynamo on Aug. 17.
