NEW YORK AND MEXICO CITY (Nov. 8, 2026) – By finishing third in the MLS Eastern Conference during the 2026 MLS regular season, the New England Revolution are confirmed as one of 18 MLS clubs qualified for Leagues Cup 2027, the fifth edition of the cross-border tournament set to take place from August 3 through September 5, 2027.

With the Leagues Cup berth solidified, New England is now set to compete for several trophies in 2027, with five different competitions on the slate during the calendar year: the 2027 MLS Sprint Season, Concacaf Champions Cup, Leagues Cup, Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, and finally, the 2027-28 MLS regular season. The winner of MLS Cup 2026 will also compete in the Campeones Cup, a single-match duel between the MLS champion and the Liga MX's Campeón de Campeones.Â
