This single-match final for a trophy and bragging rights pits the reigning champions of MLS and LIGA MX against each other.

Following an impressive third-place finish in the 2025 Leagues Cup—which secured them a spot in the 2026 Concacaf Champions Cup—head coach Greg Vanney believes his team is ready for the challenge at Dignity Health Sports Park.

“I think it’s that, in a season that kind of got lost in the first half – I think the second half of the season has been solid, we’ve been much more stable, we had a great run in Leagues Cup,” Vanney said at Tuesday’s Matchday-1 press conference.

“Performances and results have been much more stable, and I think this is just an opportunity, again, for us to take something out of this season.

“We got a Champions League spot for next year, which is obviously really positive. Now this is a chance to put a trophy in the trophy case, which is a legacy for this group of players that have been here for this season.”

Despite being eliminated from the Audi 2025 MLS Cup Playoffs, LA Galaxy are treating Wednesday’s upcoming match as their most significant of the season. Midfielder Edwin Cerrillo emphasized this, noting the team’s inability to defend their MLS Cup title makes this fixture a major focus.

“That’s definitely the mentality we have to come out with, and the energy we have to come out with at the beginning,” Cerrillo said.

“Because we know no matter what we’re playing for, at this club we have to go out there to win, and when there’s a trophy on the line and a Mexican opponent on the other side, it’s us versus them. It’s also you play for pride, you play for showing who the bigger league is, the bigger team.”
