Mexico have suffered another major injury blow ahead of the 2026 World Cup with midfielder Marcel Ruiz ruled out of the tournament with a torn ACL.

The 2026 edition of Leagues Cup will see Liga MX teams host phase one matches for the first time since the intraleague tournament debuted the modern format.

It's the last season of Liga MX before the country co-hosts the World Cup, so what are some of the things to look forward to during this Clausura?

The 2025 Apertura final featured the longest penalty shootout in Liga MX history. But the world record? Not even close.

When discussing the hierarchy of Mexican soccer, the conversation always begins with the "big four" of Liga MX. Now, Toluca have made it a big five.
