The Liga MX playoffs are officially set, with Pumas, the top seed, facing off against Club America in a highly anticipated first-round matchup. Cruz Azul clinched the No. 3 seed after defeating Necaxa 4-1, ensuring a more favorable matchup against Atlas, whom they previously beat 2-0 during the regular season. Chivas de Guadalajara, who slipped to second place after a disappointing draw against Club Tijuana, will now compete against the seventh seed, Tigres. This playoff season is particularly unique as many players will be absent due to national team duties ahead of the World Cup, which will take place in Mexico, the United States, and Canada. Notably, Chivas is expected to be significantly impacted, potentially losing five key players. The first legs of the playoff series are scheduled for May 2 and 3, with the finals set for May 21 and 24.
