27 days later… it’s time to do it all again. The Apertura season was one of the highlights of quarantine life — Pumas’ four-goal comeback on Cruz Azul might eventually represent my only lasting memory of 2020 — and the Clausura (again renamed “Torneo Guardianes” to honor healthcare workers) promises more of the same beginning on Friday, January 8.
The highlight of the opening weekend is defending champion Club León playing CONCACAF Champions League winner Tigres at El Volcán on Saturday, Jan. 9, but there’s no shortage of storylines with Cruz Azul attempting to recover from that defeat to Pumas and subsequent CCL elimination at the hands of LAFC, Club América moving forward under former Real Madrid manager Santiago Solari after firing Miguel Herrera and Chivas’ progress with young stars JJ Macías, Uriel Antuna and Alexis Vega.
For those interested in English-language coverage of Liga MX, Sunday’s match between Santos Laguna and Cruz Azul will be broadcast on FS1.
Here’s the schedule for the opening three matchdays (we’ll update this as the season advances) and TV information.
