Cruz Azul and Pumas clash in Liga MX Clausura 2026 final
The second leg of the Liga MX Clausura 2026 championship will be played on Sunday 24 May 2026 at the Estadio Olímpico Universitario in Mexico City. The series is tied 0‑0 after the first‑leg draw at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes, so the winner of the return match will claim the title.
Cruz Azul, coached by interim manager Joel Huiqui, are seeking their tenth league trophy, while Pumas UNAM, led by Efraín Juárez, aim to end a 15‑year championship drought dating back to the 2011 Clausura. Key figures include goalkeeper Keylor Navas for Pumas and forward Kevin Mier for Cruz Azul. Both sides generated numerous chances in the first leg, but Navas kept a clean sheet.
The match will be broadcast live on free‑to‑air channels Canal 5 and Azteca 7, on pay‑TV TUDN, and streamed via ViX Premium. Ticket resale prices have surged, with some offers exceeding $3,500, and the club announced that organized supporter groups from Cruz Azul will be barred from entry for security reasons.
