When is the Liga MX Apertura 2025 final being played? Here’s the full schedule
In a Liga MX final that has never previously occurred, Toluca and Tigres will compete for the Apertura 2025 title.
A historic Liga MX final awaits. For the first time in Mexican soccer history, Toluca and Tigres will clash for the championship. The Red Devils are chasing their 12th title, while Tigres aim to secure their ninth. The climax of the Apertura 2025 tournament is just around the corner, as the league announced the dates and times for the grand final this Monday.
Tigres vs Toluca: first leg
Tigres finished second in the regular-season standings, which means they’ll host the opening leg since Toluca claimed the top spot. The first chapter of this final will unfold at “El Volcán” on Thursday, December 11, at 9:00 p.m. ET/6:00 p.m. PT.
Toluca vs Tigres: second leg
For the second straight tournament, Toluca will host the decisive leg. At the Estadio Nemesio Diez, the Apertura 2025 champion will be crowned on Sunday, December 14, with the return leg kicking off at 8:00 p.m. ET/5:00 p.m. PT.
Toluca and Tigres: the moment of truth
Toluca and Tigres were the league standouts all season long. This final pits No. 1 against No. 2 from the regular phase. The Red Devils punched their ticket to the final by eliminating FC Juárez and Monterrey. Even without Alexis Vega, Antonio Mohamed’s squad hasn’t missed a beat - a testament to how well-drilled this team is.
Meanwhile, Tigres arrive looking solid, though they’ve managed just one win in the playoffs. Their lone victory came in the second leg against Tijuana; they drew both matches versus Cruz Azul but advanced thanks to their higher seed. Ángel Correa has been the heartbeat of this team.
