Monterrey Battles Cruz Azul: Your Complete Guide to Catching All the Liga MX Action Live
Monterrey welcomes Cruz Azul on Saturday evening in a matchup featuring two of the strongest squads not just in Liga MX, but across all of North American football.
Both teams reached the semifinals last season and bolstered their lineups with additional talent during the winter transfer window. Saturday's encounter will also provide a glimpse of their upcoming Concacaf Champions Cup round of 16 matchup.
Despite being loaded with talent, Monterrey have struggled since the beginning of the Clausura 2026 campaign and after securing victory in only one of their previous four matches, Rayados find themselves surprisingly outside the playoff positions at present.
Cruz Azul, conversely, have improved consistently with each successive week. Nicolás Larcamón's team defeated championship hopefuls Tigres and subsequently halted league-leading Chivas' flawless season start to move within striking distance of the Clausura 2026 top spot.
With Monterrey needing points at their home venue and Cruz Azul appearing in excellent form, Saturday's match promises to deliver exceptional entertainment. Here's your guide to watching the action unfold.
