Cruz Azul Leads Liga MX as the Women’s Playoffs Deliver Big Results

The Liga MX season is nearing its conclusion, with Cruz Azul sitting atop the standings after winning five consecutive games. América, Chivas and Toluca round out the top four.

In the Liga MX Femenil playoffs, Pumas lost their opening match against Tigres. The result reinforced Tigres’ long-running dominance in the women’s league, especially as the club’s men’s team continues to struggle. América has also produced strong performances after previously facing Tigres in championship matches.

Juárez and Guadalajara finished level after entering the playoffs in similar positions. Juárez has been consistently competitive throughout the season, defeating some of the league’s leading teams. That success stands in sharp contrast to the men’s side, which sits in last place after winning only two games.

Fans can watch local Tigres and Juárez matches in English for free on LatiNation, including more women’s playoff action. The final Liga MX games are scheduled for the 20th and 21st.

The connection between men’s and women’s clubs has helped Liga MX Femenil build on existing teams, stadiums and fan bases. The league continues to send players to the NWSL and Europe, while its championship has generated a significant audience in the United States.

On the men’s side, Tigres has endured a dramatic collapse. After qualifying for the Liguilla for 12 consecutive years, the club failed to win a single away match and will miss the playoffs. Meanwhile, teams including Atlas, Santos, San Luis and Querétaro are challenging traditional powers such as América, Chivas, Toluca and Cruz Azul.
