Don't Miss a Second: Your Complete Guide to Watching the Epic Pumas vs. Cruz Azul Liga MX Final

The Liga MX Clausura 2026 reaches its conclusion on Sunday evening as Pumas welcome Cruz Azul for the second leg of the final, where one of these two Mexico City rivals will be crowned the new champion of Mexican football.

The tie remains level following a goalless stalemate in Thursday's opening leg. Cruz Azul were clearly the dominant force on home soil but failed to convert their superiority into a lead, largely thanks to an extraordinary display from legendary ex-Real Madrid shot-stopper Keylor Navas.

Despite being outclassed throughout the first leg, Pumas salvaged a draw that almost feels like a win and will look to harness their home crowd's energy to claim the trophy at the Estadio Olímpico Universitario. Nevertheless, Cruz Azul have gone unbeaten in their last 30 matches at the venue, having used it throughout 2025, and will feel confident after controlling the opening encounter.

All the ingredients are in place for a gripping, high-stakes and unforgettable championship clash between two of Liga MX's most storied clubs. In what could be the defining match of this fierce and ever-growing rivalry, Pumas and Cruz Azul stand on the brink of glory, yet only one side will lift the title.
