The Liga MX<\/a> Clausura 2026 closed with an electrifying finale and a prize that already has an owner, as Cruz Azul confirmed its dominance in Mexican soccer by winning the US$1 million prize for the best team of the 2025-2026 season, consolidating its consistency throughout the soccer year.<\/p>\n

For the Hispanic community in the United States, this achievement not only reflects the sporting performance, but also the relevance of following a league that continues to be a benchmark among Mexican fans outside the country.<\/p>\n

The outcome was defined on Day 17 of the Clausura 2026.<\/p>\n

Specifically in the last match, where Cruz Azul defeated Necaxa 4-1, a key result to reach 68 points in the season’s accumulated table.<\/p>\n

With this figure, the Cementero team surpassed Toluca (67 points) by just one unit, in a competition that remained close until the end.<\/p>\n

This award, established by Liga MX in 2023, recognizes the club with the most points.<\/p>\n

Adding the Apertura and Clausura tournaments of the same soccer cycle.<\/p>\n

Celestial dominance: the best team for the second consecutive year<\/h2>\n

Cruz Azul not only won a million dollars, but also reaffirmed its consistency by becoming the best team of the entire season for the second consecutive year.<\/p>\n

His balance in the 2025-2026 cycle was:
\n19 wins
\n11 ties
\n4 losses<\/p>\n

Although clubs such as Guadalajara (Chivas) achieved more victories (20), their greater number of defeats (9) prevented them from surpassing the celestial team in the overall accumulated table.<\/p>\n

This kind of performance proves that consistency is still the decisive factor in modern soccer.<\/p>\n

Since its creation in 2023, the economic recognition has been won by three teams:<\/p>\n

2023-2024: Am\u00e9rica
\n2024-2025: Cruz Azul
\n2025-2026: Cruz Azul<\/p>\n

In this way, Cruz Azul becomes the first club to repeat the million-dollar award, consolidating a period of high performance.<\/p>\n

Liga MX established this award as a way of recognizing consistency, discipline and results throughout the season, regardless of what happens in the Liguilla.<\/p>\n
