Real will kick off the Leagues Cup in front of the home fans as they host Atlas FC on August 1 at 7:00 p.m.

Four days later, RSL will look for revenge against Houston as they travel to Shell Energy Stadium to play the Dynamo at 8:00 p.m.

There are a total of 47 teams competing in the group stage. 32 teams will advance to the knockout rounds.

Real Salt Lake advanced out of the group stage in 2023 before eventually losing to LAFC in the Round of 16.

Changes To Leagues Cup From 2023

The Leagues Cup format was changed a bit from last year.

The tournament is moving on to a tiered ranking system. The Leagues Cup ranking will be based on club performance and points in the last 34 regular season matches.

Real Salt Lake advanced from the group stage in last year’s Leagues Cup after defeating Seattle and dropping to Monterrey.

After a big 3-1 victory over León in the Round of 32, RSL’s run came to an end with a 4-0 loss to LAFC in the Round of 16.
