Toluca and Monterrey meet in the Leagues Cup Final at Houston’s Shell Energy Stadium, with the 2026 championship on the line in an all-Liga MX title decider.
Two of Mexican football’s heavyweights collide on neutral ground in Texas, where the single-elimination format guarantees a champion—level after 90 minutes means an immediate penalty shootout to settle the silverware. Neither side carries a venue advantage, leaving quality, tournament momentum and knockout composure to separate the finalists. Betting markets are expected to open closer to kick-off as both camps finalise their approach to North America’s premier summer club competition. Kick-off at Shell Energy Stadium is set for 9:15 PM ET / 8:15 PM CT / 7:15 PM MT / 6:15 PM PT on Sunday, September 6.
