The MLS Cup 2022 champion, the Los Angeles Football Club, has qualified directly into the Round of 32 of Leagues Cup 2023. Club de Fútbol Pachuca earned the bye as the LIGA MX champion with the most combined points accumulated across the Clausura and Apertura seasons in the 2022 calendar year.

Following the Group Stage, the advancing teams will join LAFC and Pachuca to compete in the single-game elimination Knockout Rounds, beginning with the Round of 32 on Aug. 2-4 (16 matches), followed by the Round of 16 on Aug. 6-8 (eight matches). The eight advancing teams will compete in the Quarterfinals on Aug. 11-12 (four matches) before the two Semifinal matches on Aug. 15.
