<p>The National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/liga-mx-femenil-tv-and-streaming-schedule/">Liga MX Femenil</a> have <a href="https://www.nwslsoccer.com/news/nwsl-liga-mx-femenil-sets-us-television-and-streaming-details-playoff-sites" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">revealed</a> more details regarding the upcoming Summer Cup. News of the competition between the two North American leagues was previously <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/nwsl-and-liga-mx-femenil-to-play-summer-tournament-in-2024/">announced</a> back in March. The competition will essentially mirror the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/leagues-cup-tv-schedule/">Leagues Cup</a>, which features men’s clubs from <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/mls-tv-schedule/">Major League Soccer</a> and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/liga-mx-tv-schedule/">Liga MX</a>.</p>



<p>One specific difference in the women’s tournament, however, involves how many teams will take part in the contest. Every top-flight team from MLS and Liga MX currently features in the Leagues Cup. Nevertheless, just 20 total clubs will compete for the NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup. </p>



<p>All 14 <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/nwsl-tv-schedule-and-streaming-links/">NWSL</a> are set to be involved in the summer tournament. South of the border, the top six Mexican women’s teams will join their counterparts. These clubs are determined by achieving the most total points in Liga MX Femenil Clausura and Apertura. Tigres UANL, Club America, Chivas de Guadalajara, Rayadas de Monterrey, Pachuca, and Tijuana are the current sextet to qualify for the competition.</p>



<h2>20 teams to feature at tournament over three months</h2>



<p>The upcoming tournament between the two women’s leagues is set to officially start on Friday, July 19. The 20 clubs to be involved in the competition split into five different groups. While typically the top two teams in each group advance to a knockout round, this competition will work a little differently. </p>

<p>Instead, just the top four teams in the group stage qualify for the semifinals. This doubleheader of the final four is in Kansas City, Missouri on Aug. 6. The semifinal winners will then face off for the title in San Antonio, Texas on Oct. 25.</p>



<h5>Group A </h5>



<p>Portland Thorns FC, Seattle Reign FC, Utah Royals FC, Tijuana</p>



<h5>Group B </h5>



<p>Angel City FC, San Diego Wave FC, Bay FC, Club America</p>



<h5>Group C </h5>

<p>Orlando Pride, North Carolina Courage, Racing Louisville FC, Rayadas de Monterrey</p>



<h2>CBS Sports grabs English-language rights to competition</h2>



<p>Here in the United States, CBS Sports is the exclusive English-language home of the NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup. All 33 matches will be live on Paramount+. However, 11 games are also accessible on the CBS Sports Golazo Network and 12 fixtures will be simulcast on CBS Sports Network. Three of these games on the latter channel are the semifinals and championship game.</p>

<p>The tournament’s deal with CBS Sports certainly makes sense due to their current agreement with the NWSL. The network previously stayed on as an ally of the women’s league in a <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tv/nwsl-tv-deal-boosts-revenue-but-makes-it-harder-to-find-games-20231109-WST-468746.html?utm_source=Klaviyo&amp;utm_medium=campaign&amp;_kx=ik-Ogu0_iUD23oE9Z8CcQASHGz2oG4sbLlUgU5kjJwAKMCXwlHAdXgIYzBM_aZ7C.SDRVpV">huge deal</a> ahead of the current campaign. Nevertheless, CBS Sports is one of four broadcasting partners with the NWSL.</p>



<p>TUDN and NWSL+ are sharing the Spanish-language broadcasting schedule of the upcoming competition. TUDN, however, will air just three group-stage games. NWSL+, on the other hand, handles the remaining matches in the States.</p>



<p>Seattle Reign and the Utah Royals will be the first matchup of the NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup on July 19 at 9 p.m. ET. Mexican duo Tigres and Pachuca then face off an hour later in Monterrey.</p>

NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup broadcasting information

Organizers of the NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup have revealed broadcasting and scheduling details regarding the upcoming competition.

<p>The <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/nwsl-tv-schedule-and-streaming-links/">National Women’s Soccer League</a> (NWSL) announced a summer tournament where each team will play against select sides from the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/liga-mx-femenil-tv-and-streaming-schedule/">Liga MX Femenil</a>. That is the top women’s league in Mexico. In total, there will be 20 teams involved, and they will play a total of 33 games as part of this competition. The 20 teams split into five groups of four. Each group has three NWSL teams and one Liga MX Femenil team. There is one exception that has two NWSL teams and two Liga MX Femenil teams. </p>



<p>Each side will play the other three teams in their group. Then, the top four teams from across the competition will advance to a four-team semifinal phase. Further details on the competition rules and scheduling will come at a later date. For now, NWSL and Liga MX Femenil announced the tournament will start on July 19. Each team’s three group-stage games happen in late July, as the semifinal round will be the week of Aug. 4. However, the Final will not happen for some time. The Championship match for this competition is the weekend of Oct. 25 to 27.</p>



<p>This tournament is similar to the Leagues Cup between Major League Soccer and Liga MX. However, the main difference is that the Leagues Cup features every team in Major League Soccer <em>and </em>Liga MX. While this new tournament has every NWSL team, there are only six competitors from Liga MX Femenil. That is just one-third of the teams in Mexico’s top women’s division. </p>



<p>That said, the Summer Cup will play prominently in the United States. There is one game on Mexican soil, which is fittingly the group-stage game involving two Mexican clubs. The other contests are spread across NWSL stadiums. There is no plan in place for where the semifinals or final would be yet. </p>



<h2>Tournament brings NWSL and Liga MX Femenil together</h2>



<p>This competition is a major piece of growth for both the NWSL and Liga MX Femenil. With the introduction of the <a href="https://www.concacaf.com/news/concacaf-launches-region-s-first-official-women-s-continental-club-competition-with-annual-w-champions-cup/">CONCACAF Women’s Champions Cup</a>, North America and the Caribbean now has its equivalent to the UEFA Women’s Champions League. The addition of the Summer Cup between NWSL and the Liga MX Femenil just takes it a step further.</p>



<p>“Today’s announcement marks a historic milestone for women’s soccer in North America and another significant step in the continued elevation of our global game,” said NWSL Commissioner Jessica Berman. “We’re excited to partner with LIGA MX Femenil to create additional competitive opportunities for our athletes, unlock new rivalries, tap into our collective fanbases and continue our shared mission of raising the value, visibility and global standard of our sport.” </p>

<h2>Groups already in place for NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup</h2>



<p>As part of the announcement, NWSL and Liga MX Femenil unveiled the five groups to see who the 20 teams will face in the three group-stage games. Again, the formatting and rules for the competition will come out at a later date. Still, fans can look forward to some intriguing international matchups.</p>
