How to Watch Cruz Azul vs. Chivas on TV, Live Stream: Liga MX Game of the Week

Two of the biggest teams in Mexican soccer will clash on Saturday as Cruz Azul host Chivas in a battle between the table-toppers of the Liga MX Clausura 2026 season.
Cruz Azul eliminated Chivas in the Apertura 2025 quarterfinals in a tie that will forever be remembered for Javier “Chicharito” Hernández missing a late penalty in his final match for his boyhood club.
Chivas have rebounded since, arriving to Saturday’s clash perfect through six Liga MX games this season, with a commanding lead atop the standings after defeating arch-nemesis Club América in El Clásico Nacional last time out.
Meanwhile, Cruz Azul are on the rise after comfortably advancing to the Concacaf Champions Cup round of 16 and fresh off defeating title-contenders Tigres last weekend.
La Máquina has enjoyed plenty of success against Chivas since the turn of the decade, but Gabriel Milito’s side are playing inspired soccer and will be on a mission to defeat Cruz Azul away for the first time since 2022.
Here’s how you can watch Cruz Azul vs. Chivas on Saturday night.
