After losing 2-3 to Club León and finishing with three points, Inter Miami are not qualified for the 2026 Leagues Cup quarterfinals; Inter Miami is eliminated from the competition.
Why is Inter Miami Eliminated from the 2026 Leagues Cup?
Inter Miami is officially eliminated from the 2026 Leagues Cup as they finished with three points and do not have enough points to finish in the top 4 positions in the MLS Leagues Cup table.
Tonight's 2-3 loss puts Inter Miami in the 15th position of the MLS Leagues Cup table, which sees them as one of the worst MLS teams in the 2026 Leagues Cup campaign.
Only the Vancouver Whitecaps have fewer points than them; the Whitecaps have one point after one draw and two losses.
Even if Inter Miami had won tonight, they would have needed LAFC, FC Dallas, Chicago Fire, Austin FC, and Portland Timbers to lose their third game of the Leagues Cup.
