Liga MX Reveals Schedule for Apertura 2026 Tournament

Liga MX has officially announced the schedule for the upcoming Apertura 2026 tournament, where 18 teams will compete for the prestigious title in Mexican soccer. The league is gearing up for an exciting season filled with competitive matches.

One key factor influencing the schedule is Toluca's involvement in the FIFA Intercontinental Cup in Qatar, set to begin on December 9. This has led Liga MX to establish specific dates for the Grand Final.

In a typical scenario where Toluca does not reach the final, the championship match is slated for December 10 and 13. However, should Toluca advance to the title match, the final will be rescheduled to December 24 and 27, creating a unique holiday event for fans.

The Final Phase will unfold without interruption, with the Quarterfinals taking place on November 25, 26, 28, and 29, followed by the Semifinals on December 2, 3, 5, and 6. This year's tournament promises to deliver thrilling soccer action leading up to the finals.
