– Monarcas Morelia vs. Atlante F.C. – LIVE Friday at 9:00 PM ET / 8:00 PM CT / 6:00 PM PT
Monarcas Morelia is just one point away from first position and has already secured a position in the playoffs.

– Cruz Azul vs. Estudiantes Tecos – LIVE Saturday at 6:00 PM ET / 5:00 PM CT / 3:00 PM PT
This match is a study in contrasts. Cruz Azul needs to accrue points to ensure its spot in the liguilla playoffs and to put an end to the hopes of the seven teams who want to fill the last slot in the playoffs. But Cruz Azul will have to face off against Estudiantes Tecos, a team that has already been relegated to the Liga de Ascenso promotion league and that has only two more matches in Mexico’s top-flight soccer league. Cruz Azul needs to accrue enough points to guarantee advancing to the playoffs, while Estudiantes Tecos will be playing hard to leave the league with dignity.

– Puebla F.C. vs. Club América – LIVE Sunday at 5:00 PM ET / 4:00 PM CT / 2:00 PM PT
Puebla welcomes a team that is experiencing an amazing comeback. In the last tournament, Club América came in second-to-last place, but in this tournament, with just two matches remaining in the regular season, América has already qualified for the liguilla playoffs. América needs six points to play the playoff games at home. But the team will have to face off against the Puebla Camoteros, who are not entirely out of the running for the playoffs. With six more points, Puebla could earn a spot in the playoffs. Without a doubt, this match will be intense and filled with adrenaline.
