Major League Soccer and the Mexican First Division announced the formation of SuperLiga, a tournament involving four clubs from each league that will compete for a US$1 million first prize.
The SuperLiga will include a group phase and knockout phase, with all games being held in US venues from July 24 to Aug. 29.
"We are proud to announce the creation of SuperLiga, which will quickly become one of the most prestigious international club soccer tournaments held in the United States," MLS commissioner Don Garber said on Saturday.
Group A will consist of MLS clubs FC Dallas, the Los Angeles Galaxy and Mexican teams CD Guadalajara and CF Pachuca.
Group B will contain DC United and the Houston Dynamo of MLS and Club America and Monarcas Morelia of the Mexican league.
"We strongly believe SuperLiga will be a great international soccer tournament," Mexican commissioner Decio de Maria said.
