Liga MX Apertura, Clausura and the match legs

Use both the tournament label and the phase

For Apertura 2026, Guadalajara’s published calendar lists Jornada 1 through Jornada 17. It then lists the quarterfinals, semifinals and final in a separate block. The jornada number belongs to the regular schedule. In the elimination block, the useful labels are the named stage and its leg. Ida is the first meeting of the tie and vuelta is the return.

The same club can appear in very different results under a broad year search. The federation’s May 2026 appointments list Tigres–Guadalajara in the first leg of the Clausura quarterfinals. Guadalajara’s Apertura calendar also includes Tigres, this time as a Jornada 12 opponent. Use the tournament and phase to decide whether you want that older quarterfinal or a regular match from the later edition.

Check the current entry before saving a fixture

Start with the latest match entry for the clubs and edition. The federation’s appointment notice for Apertura Jornada 9 identifies the matchday and venue on individual rows. A season announcement provides the calendar framework. A match entry gives you the scheduled local time and stadium for a particular game. Carry the venue and local time alongside the date if you add it to your calendar.

For qualification or a tied knockout pairing, use the rules for the tournament you are following. The federation’s 2026/27 regulations index groups the men’s Liga MX separately from Liga Expansión MX and Liga MX Femenil. The club calendar identifies stage labels. The applicable regulation is the place to confirm the number of qualifiers, seeding and how a tie is settled.

Write the query as a match reference

For a regular fixture, use the club pair, Apertura 2026 and the jornada number. For an elimination match, substitute the round and ida or vuelta. If the pair has already played the other leg, keep its result and aggregate separate from the score for the match you opened.
