The MX League, officially known as Liga MX, is the top professional football division in Mexico and one of the most competitive leagues in the Americas. Founded in 1943, Liga MX features 18 clubs competing across two annual tournaments — the Apertura (Opening) and Clausura (Closing) seasons.

The league is known for its high-intensity matches, technical skill, and passionate fan culture. Clubs like Club América, Chivas Guadalajara, Cruz Azul, and Pumas UNAM have built massive legacies, dominating both domestic and continental competitions. Liga MX also maintains a fierce rivalry with Major League Soccer (MLS), highlighted in events like the Leagues Cup, where top teams from both nations face off.

Many world-class players have emerged from or played in Liga MX — from Mexican legends such as Cuauhtémoc Blanco, Hugo Sánchez, and Javier “Chicharito” Hernández, to international stars drawn by the league’s growing reputation and fan base.

Beyond the pitch, Liga MX plays a huge role in Mexican culture, representing the nation’s football passion and community pride. Its stadiums, chants, and traditions create an atmosphere that few leagues in the world can match.
