Liga MX Tickets
Mexican soccer fans from throughout the world regularly make their way to Liga MX stadiums to take in the quality soccer that’s displayed at each of these matches. The league’s extensive seasons provide plenty of opportunities to do so. The 2019-20 campaign got underway on July 19 and will go until May. The Clausura, the second half of the 2019-20 season, started on Jan. 10 and will run to May 31, including the playoffs. Liga MX is also so popular north of the border that US television ratings for its matches regularly exceed those for the US- and Canada-based MLS. Regardless, there’s nothing quite like experiencing these matches live, and many Americans travel across the border to do just that. In two instances, those trips do not need to be long ones. Tijuana, just across the border from San Diego, and Juarez, on the other side of the border from El Paso, Texas, are home to Liga MX teams.
