How to identify the current Liga MX matchweek and follow fixtures, kick-off times and results
Liga MX divides the season into Apertura and Clausura, each with its own matchweek numbering. Find out how to locate the matchweek in progress, separate completed matches from upcoming fixtures and understand postponements.
Understand whether it is the Apertura or Clausura
The Liga MX regular season has two tournaments: the Apertura, played in the second half of the year, and the Clausura, played in the first half. Each competition resets the matchweek count. Therefore, “Matchweek 5” only makes sense when accompanied by Apertura or Clausura and the year. Before checking the standings, confirm which tournament is under way.
Find the current matchweek in the official fixture list
Liga MX’s website and official channels publish the fixture list with each matchweek clearly identified. The current matchweek is the one containing matches being played during that period, or the next scheduled matchweek after the previous one has ended. In weeks with early fixtures, a match may be played on a different date from most of the matchweek. This does not change its official classification.
Separate completed, live and upcoming matches
On the matchweek page, completed matches display the final score and generally details such as goals, cards and line-ups. Matches in progress show the minute and current score. Upcoming fixtures show their kick-off date and time. Always check the full date, as a matchweek may begin on one day and finish the next.
Convert kick-off times correctly for Brazil
Liga MX kick-off times are usually published in the time zone of the host Mexican city or Central Mexico Time. Brazil has more than one time zone, and changes during the year can affect the difference. To avoid mistakes, use a schedule that automatically converts times to Brasília time and confirm whether the match is in Mexico City, Tijuana or another part of the country.
How to identify postponed or rescheduled matches
A postponed match may remain linked to its original matchweek even if it is played days or weeks later. The fixture list will usually include terms such as “pospuesto”, “reprogramado” or a new date. Do not treat a missing score as a defeat, draw or walkover. The standings may show clubs with different numbers of matches played until the fixture takes place.
Use reliable sources for live results
To confirm the matchweek, kick-off time or a rescheduling, prioritise Liga MX and club official channels. Live-score platforms are useful for following incidents and statistics, but it is worth comparing information when there is a last-minute change. The league table is a useful complement: it shows points and matches played, but does not replace the matchweek fixture list.
