Chicago Fire will face Puebla (LIGA MX) in group Central 2 of the Leagues Cup 2023. The inaugural edition of the World-Cup style tournament includes 47 clubs – all first division clubs in Canada, Mexico, and the United States – and will take place from July 21 to August 19. The champion, as well as the second and third-place finishers, will qualify for the Concacaf Champions League and have an opportunity to earn a spot in the FIFA Club World Cup.

The Leagues Cup 2023 groups are based on each team’s 2022 performance along with their geographic regions. The Chicago Fire’s fixture against Puebla will mark the first-ever meeting between the two teams in an official competition.

Every team will play two matches in the Group Stage, with the top two teams from each group advancing to the Knockout Stage Round of 32. ​
