The league's fragmented TV deal means instead of a last day full of drama, the action will unfold slowly over three days
There will be exciting moments during the final weekend of Liga MX play. The last three spots in the eight-team Liguilla are up for grabs, with historic clubs like Pumas and Necaxa and recent champions Pachuca and Tijuana in the mix. Instead of a firehose of drama, though, it will be a trickle.
Liga MX teams negotiate their own TV deals and then play at the agreed upon day and time. That means that while the majority of leagues can schedule a simultaneous start on the final day of action, both to avoid any tomfoolery with teams able to play out to mutually beneficial results on the later days and to generate as much excitement as possible for fans, a shotgun start is impossible in Mexico.
