There will be exactly 5*6 = 30 distinct games played. The best way is to set up a 2 dimensional table with the alpha league teams on the row headers and the beta league on the column headers. The intersection of each alpha,beta combo will form a cell. You'll find that there are 30 cells total (think of it like an excel spreadsheet).
