Club Leon vs Cruz Azul tickets Liga MX

The opening matchday of the Liga MX season brought Leon de Guanajuato and Cruz Azul together at the Estadio Nou Camp in Léon on Saturday 10 January 2026 at 19:00, with both clubs beginning their campaigns from scratch. Meetings between these two carry real weight, and their recent history has been split down the middle: Leon edged a previous encounter 2-1 at home, while Cruz Azul answered emphatically with a 4-1 win at the Estadio Olímpico Universitario. That contrast set the tone for a first-round fixture that had plenty riding on it, from early momentum to the bragging rights that come with facing one of Mexican football's most storied sides. A 30,344-capacity ground on the first weekend of a new season made this an occasion Liga MX supporters had circled well in advance.
