Liga MX Apertura 2026: Standings after matchday 2

The Liga MX Apertura 2026 tournament has completed its second matchday, marked by Querétaro's dramatic victory over Pachuca. While there is still one more round before a break for the Leagues Cup, the standings are beginning to take shape. Xolos de Tijuana currently sits atop the table with six points, sharing the lead with Cruz Azul, Atlas, and Necaxa, but securing first place on goal difference. América, after a draw with Atlante, is in fifth place with four points, maintaining an undefeated streak but yet to hit its full stride. Pachuca, Toluca, and Monterrey are also in the Liguilla playoff zone with three points each, despite all three teams losing their respective matches in the second round. Chivas and Pumas, with the same points, are just outside the qualification spots due to goal difference. Both teams secured wins in their opening matches, and expectations are high for them to improve in the coming weeks.
