Did the “4 Bigs” get royal treatment with Guard1anes 2020 calendar release?

As we all know at this point, in an attempt to increase viewership and ratings due to the empty stadiums, Liga MX officials made the decision to extend the duration of each fixture week for the upcoming Guard1anes 2020 season. This was carried out by scheduling matches on Thursdays, kicking the week off a day earlier, as well as adding a game on Mondays, emulating NFL’s “Monday Night Football.” In short, some fixture weeks will last up to five days. That’s right, five days. Whether it is a smart move or not, it will indeed accomplish the goal of giving fans more time and opportunities to watch all the teams in the league by not cramping two or three different matches on top of one another like they had done in the past, especially in the Saturday fixtures.
