The 2023 Leagues Cup is heating up. 48 days after announcing the groups and the format in which MLS and Liga MX clubs will face each other in some sort of summer World Cup-style extravaganza, the tournament revealed its entire match schedule and bracket.
And oh, boy! Be prepared for an overdose of games.

With kick-off less than 20 weeks away (135 days) and Wednesday serving as the global celebration of International Women's Day, FIFA marked the occasion by unveiling the official poster for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
The main poster is accompanied by one for each of the nine host cities, "highlighting the iconic and historical landmarks, wildlife and vibrant cultures that are unique to each."
U.S. Soccer could have two new venues to call home in the coming years as Indianapolis and Hawaii are preparing to construct new stadiums.
In Indianapolis the $1 billion Eleven Park is set to break ground in May 2023 which will include a 20,000-seat soccer stadium for USL Championship side Indy Eleven. There are also ambitions to bring a Major League Soccer team to the city.
The 2026 World Cup — the first World Cup to ever be joint-hosted by three countries (USA–Mexico–Canada), will see the U.S. host 60 games in 11 stadiums across the country between June 8 and July 3 of that summer. It’s going to be nuts.

Major League Soccer's ambition of being a true player in the world's club game by the 2026 World Cup is slowly being realized.
The league's 28th season kicks off Saturday with a new team (St. Louis City SC), a new 10-year partnership with Apple TV (worth $250M per season) that's available in over 100 countries and Tuesday's announcement of a three-year extension with Audi that pays a multimillion-dollar fee annually.
Soccer in Turkey has been a distant afterthought after the Feb. 6 earthquake that's claimed the lives of over 42,000 people.

The Brazilian club is currently serving a ban on fans due to fights breaking out in the stadium. There was one loophole with the ban: only men were barred from attending the games.
Women and children were allowed to watch the team and so what the club did was make the entry fee for games one kilogram of non-perishable food. The turnout was spectacular.
As Major League Soccer enters its 28th season, one example of the league's growing strength is just how difficult it is to determine which 10 stadiums you'd like to visit most.
