Cruz Azul consistency: Six consecutive Liguilla appearances and most wins
Cruz Azul has solidified its position as one of the most consistent teams in Mexican football, reaching its sixth consecutive Liguilla.
Cruz Azul has established itself as one of the most consistent forces in Mexican football. By securing a spot in the Apertura 2026 Liguilla, the club has reached the final phase of the championship for the sixth consecutive tournament.
This streak began in the Clausura 2024. Since then, 'La Máquina' has not missed a single post-season appearance, qualifying through the Clausura 2024, Apertura 2024, Clausura 2025, Apertura 2025, Clausura 2026, and the current Apertura 2026 campaigns.
This continuity reflects the resurgence of the team in Liga MX. Under the guidance of Joel Huiqui, the team is not only fighting for titles but remains highly competitive at the top of the standings. In the current Apertura 2026 tournament, Cruz Azul leads the league with nine victories, a testament to the current form of the squad.
The team now heads into the Liguilla with the goal of translating this regular season dominance into a championship title.
