Liga MX Play-In: Who Will Earn Last Playoff Spots?

The Mexican top football league, Liga MX, resumes action following a FIFA international break with the commencement of its play-in series. These high-stakes matches are designed to determine the final two qualifiers for the league's lucrative playoffs, often referred to as the 'Big Party'.

Teams that narrowly missed out on automatic qualification are now in a desperate fight for survival. The format dictates that the victor of the initial play-in game will be awarded the seventh position in the playoff bracket. However, defeat does not mean immediate elimination for the losing side.

Instead, the team that loses the first play-in match will enter a secondary round. They will compete against the winner of another pairing, with the ultimate victor of this second game securing the eighth and final playoff spot. This ensures a second chance for some, heightening the drama of the postseason qualification.
