After almost a month of inactivity in Mexican soccer, the Clausura 2018 of Liga MX starts on this Friday, January 5. With teams reinforced in the winter market, this tournament promises to be quite attractive, especially considering that at the end of the season, one team will have to be relegated. Here are the schedules for Matchday 1 of the Clausura 2018 Liga MX and the channels where you can watch the matches live.
This tournament will have a dramatic touch since, as mentioned before, one team will have to be relegated. The teams in the fight to stay in the first division are Veracruz, Queretaro, Puebla, Atlas, and newly promoted Lobos BUAP.
The champion Tigres will start the defense of their title against Puebla in the opening match of Clausura 2018. Tigres, as it has been for several years now, is poised to be one of the favorites for the title thanks to their great squad, so a back-to-back championship would not be strange.
