Liga MX is entering its most exciting phase towards the Clausura 2026 and, after 15 games played, the outlook for the Liguilla is beginning to take shape. With only two games remaining in the regular calendar – to be played in a double-header format – several teams have already secured their place in the Fiesta Grande, while others are fighting until the last minute to avoid being left out.<\/p>\n

For Hispanic fans in the United States, this is a key tournament: the Liga MX Liguilla not only defines the champion, it also marks the level of Mexican teams on the road to the 2026 World Cup.<\/p>\n

Qualified teams and those still in the fight<\/h2>\n

So far, the top five places in the overall standings have already secured their direct ticket to the Liga MX Liguilla 2026:<\/p>\n

Chivas
\nPachuca
\nPumas
\nCruz Azul
\nToluca<\/p>\n

These clubs have been the most consistent in the tournament and, barring an unexpected fall, will go into the finals with an advantage.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Am\u00e9rica, Atlas and Le\u00f3n occupy positions within the qualification zone, but their place is not yet guaranteed.<\/p>\n

Their performance in the last few rounds will be decisive in confirming their presence in the Quarterfinals.<\/p>\n

This is how the Liguilla will be played today<\/h2>\n

If the tournament were to end at this point, the Quarterfinals would be defined as follows:<\/p>\n

Chivas (1) vs Le\u00f3n (8)
\nPachuca (2) vs Atlas (7)
\nPumas (3) vs Am\u00e9rica (6)
\nCruz Azul (4) vs Toluca (5)<\/p>\n

These clashes promise high intensity, with potential classics and duels between historic Mexican soccer players.<\/p>\n

Key dates of the Liguilla Clausura 2026<\/h2>\n

Liga MX plans to start the Liguilla in early May, with the goal of completing the tournament before the start of the 2026 World Cup.<\/p>\n

An important detail is that some teams may not have players called up to the Mexican National Team, which could influence performance.<\/p>\n

Quarterfinals:<\/strong> May 2, 3, 9 and 10
\nSemifinals:<\/strong> May 13, 14, 16 and 17
\nFinal:<\/strong> May 21 and 24<\/p>\n
