NYCFC have been drawn alongside Atlas F.C. and Toronto FC. The Liga MX outfit are a familiar opponent to the Boys in Blue, with 2022 seeing the two teams square off in the Campeones Cup - a match in which NYCFC emerged 2-0 victors to secure the crown.
Elsewhere, the Boys in Blue will also square off against fellow MLS outfit Toronto FC. The two teams met twice last season, with both tasting victory once. A narrow 2-1 defeat at BMO Field was followed by an entertaining 5-4 victory at Citi Field in late April.
Every team will play two matches in the Group Stage, with the top two teams from each group, as determined by points, advancing to the Knockout Stage Round of 32. No matches in the Leagues Cup Group Stage will end in a tie. If a game is tied after 90 minutes, the game will proceed to a penalty shootout.
