Normally no, the rule of thumb is that all hybrid animals are sterile because of their mismatched chromosomes but as in all things there are exceptions to the rule and there have even been several documented cases in which hybrid animals have unexpectedly given birth.

There have been about 6 cases of female ligers that have produce offspring but even so their fertility was low with the mothers producing only one cub at a time. To my understanding in all of the cases the mothers only gave birth once, now whether it was because of low fertility or they where just prevented from breding again I don't know but all of the births where just the single cub.

There has never been a liger cub born to two liger parents as there has never been any fertile male ligers, all of the cubs born to liger mothers where sired either by a male lion or tiger creating li-ligers or ti-ligers (depending on the father).

Theoretically a receptive liger could be bred to any other big cat such as a leopard or cougar making a three way hybrid but no such crosses have ever been recorded.
