Cruz Azul vs Pumas UNAM – Where to Watch, Stream Info, TV Channel, and Live Updates (May 21, 2026)

Two of Mexico City’s most storied clubs meet in the Liga MX Clausura 2026 final, with a championship on the line and a city divided. Pumas UNAM finished the regular season as the top side in the table and have navigated their way through América and Pachuca to reach this point. Cruz Azul, meanwhile, were written off after a turbulent regular season that cost their manager his job, yet have since transformed into the form team of the playoffs.

The individual talent on display gives this final genuine intrigue. Cruz Azul’s Jose Paradela has been one of the most dangerous forwards in the division, producing 7 goals and 5 assists while putting 21 shots on target. For Pumas, Juninho has been the engine of everything going forward — 8 goals and 4 assists across the campaign — and the kind of player who can settle a final on his own. Carlos Rodriguez has created 36 chances for Cruz Azul, a figure that underlines just how much of their attacking play runs through him.
