2024 NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup group stage

The 2024 NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup group stage consisted of a total of 20 teams competing across 5 groups to decide 4 places in the knockout stage of the 2024 NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup.[1] Each group had four teams, which played each other once each in a round-robin format. If a game was tied after 90 minutes, a penalty shoot-out was held. Three points were awarded for a win in regulation time, two points for a penalty shoot-out win, one point for a penalty shoot-out loss, and no points for a regulation-time loss.[2]
