The knockout stage of the 2024 Leagues Cup was the second and final stage of the competition, following the group stage. The knockout stage began on August 7 and concluded with the final on August 25. The top two teams from each group advanced to the knockout stage to compete in a single-elimination tournament. There were 32 matches in the knockout stage, including a third-place playoff played between the two losing semifinalists.[1]
The knockout stage of the 2024 Leagues Cup was contested between the 30 teams that qualified from the group stage and two that received a bye. Matches in the knockout stage were played to a finish. If the score of a match was level at the end of 90 minutes, no extra time was played, and the match was decided by a penalty shoot-out.
The top two placed teams from each of the top fifteen groups qualified for the knockout stage, joining América and Columbus Crew, who both received byes to this round.
