A severe downpour in Zapopan has disrupted the start of the Liga MX match between Chivas and Tijuana. The game, initially set to kick off at 5:07 PM at the Estadio Akron, was delayed. Liga MX has not yet announced a new start time for this Apertura 2026 Week 5 fixture.

The delay, which began at 10 minutes, could extend if the rain continues. "The start of the match between Chivas and Xolos is delayed due to weather conditions," Liga MX stated on its X account.
