About the Liga MX Apertura 2026 Season

The Apertura 2026 is the first of two Liga MX tournaments in the 2026–2027 season. It kicked off on July 16, 2026 with Necaxa hosting newly promoted Atlante, and runs through the regular-season finale on November 22, 2026.

How the league is structured

Liga MX features 18 clubs playing a single round-robin format — each team faces every other team once over 17 Jornadas (matchdays). There is no relegation or promotion during this cycle. The season includes one midweek round (Jornada 13 in October) and pauses for FIFA international windows and the annual Leagues Cup tournament (after Jornada 3 in early August).

Liguilla (playoff) qualification

At the end of the 17 Jornadas, the top 8 teams in the standings advance to the Liguilla — Liga MX's knockout playoff tournament. Each round is a two-leg tie (home and away), with the higher-seeded team hosting the return leg. The winner of the Liguilla is crowned Apertura champion. See the Liguilla bracket page for the full playoff schedule once matchups are confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Liga MX Schedule

When does the Liga MX Apertura 2026 season start and end?

The Apertura 2026 regular season runs from July 16 through November 22, 2026. The Liguilla playoffs follow immediately after, with the final typically held in December.

How many games does each team play in a Liga MX season?

Each of the 18 Liga MX clubs plays 17 regular-season matches — one against every other team. Teams that qualify for the Liguilla play additional knockout matches (up to 6 more games if they reach the final).

What is a Jornada in Liga MX?

A Jornada is a matchday round in Liga MX. Each Jornada typically has 9 matches (one for each of the 18 clubs) spread across a Friday-to-Sunday window, with occasional Thursday or Monday fixtures. The Apertura season has 17 Jornadas total.

Does Liga MX take breaks during the season?

Yes. The Apertura 2026 pauses for the Leagues Cup (after Jornada 3 in early August) and for FIFA international windows in September, October, and November. These breaks are built into the official league calendar and matches resume immediately after.

How do I add Liga MX matches to my phone calendar?

Go to the Calendar page and download the ICS file for all matches, a single team, or a custom selection of clubs. Import it into Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook — kickoff times appear in your local timezone automatically.

Why do some match times show TBA?

TBA means the official kickoff time hasn't been confirmed yet by the league. This is common for matches scheduled several weeks out. Check the match page again closer to the date; TBA matches still show the scheduled date on the match card.
