Liga MX raises the curtain on the 2026 Clausura Tournament with Day 1, which will be played from Friday, January 9 to Sunday, January 11, marking the beginning of the road to the Liguilla. For Hispanic fans living in the United States, this first matchday comes with a wide range of live television broadcasts and streaming platforms, allowing them to follow each match regardless of their city.
As usual, J1 of Liga MX serves to measure the start of the teams, the adaptation of reinforcements and the first tactical decisions of the semester. Among the matches generating the most attention are América’s away debut against Xolos, Chivas’ home debut against Pachuca and Sunday’s closing game between Atlético de San Luis and Tigres, two clubs with aspirations of prominence.
