With the Clausura regular season in the books, it's time to get down to business. The opening round of Liguilla play kicks off on Wednesday night, with matches continuing through the weekend. Eight teams carry dreams of lifting the trophy, but by Sunday night only four will remain standing. As we look towards the semifinal round, the questions abound. Will we see a return to glory for Club America? Can Santos overcome the superlider curse and get past a tough Jaguares side. Will defending champs Tigres make another deep run? And do the newcomers from Tijuana have what it takes to knock off the veteran Rayados?
Expect to see an exciting week of postseason football, as the eight clubs battle it out. Kickoff times and U.S. television listings for the opening round can be found below. (Note: All times listed are Eastern)
