Mexico · One-Off
Campeón de Campeones
In US-sports termsMexico's champion-vs-champion exhibition — Apertura winner vs Clausura winner in one match, lately played in Los Angeles because that's where the money (and millions of fans) are.
What it is
One summer match between the season's two Liga MX champions — the Apertura winner vs the Clausura winner. Mexico's version of the Community Shield.
How you get in
Win either half-season's Liguilla. If one club wins both (rare), there's no game to play.
What it feeds
A trophy and bragging rights — no qualification attached.
It's often staged in the US, which tells you everything about how big Liga MX's American audience is.
