Liga MX Week 16, 2016 Clausura, TV schedule and live stream

With two weeks to go in the regular season, we are getting close to figuring out what eight teams will be fighting for the Liga MX title in May. Three teams are already in, two more are virtually qualified, and three spots remain.

For Leon and Pachuca, the playoffs can become a reality this weekend with a draw at the Estadio Nou Camp. Leon are no strangers to taking a beating at home, and if they are to have any hope of finishing in the top four they need a win here.

Having said that, Pachuca don't absolutely need the victory, but a guaranteed return leg at home in the quarterfinals is incentive enough to get all three points on the road. As if that wasn't enough, there is also the large possibility these two sides meet again in the opening round of the playoffs.

Meanwhile, the champions Tigres are in deep trouble. Ricardo "Tuca" Ferretti's side is currently ninth in the league table, and arrive to their game against Veracruz on the back of losing the CONCACAF Champions League final to Club America.

No one can deny that Tigres deserve this. They have been woeful, winning only twice in their last nine league games. A defeat can mean the champions are eliminated as early as this week. A win, on the other hand, would be massive as they look to keep their Liguilla hopes alive.

Speaking of teams still in the fight for the Liguilla, Toluca play host to Cruz Azul at the Estadio Nemesio Diez on Sunday. Both sides are two points shy of eighth place Pumas for the last playoff spot, but both sides have been awful in their past matches. Toluca showed zero fight and were thrashed 4-0 by Sao Paulo in their Copa Libertadores round of 16 first leg. Likewise, Cruz Azul lost to a struggling Veracruz side at the Estadio Luis Pirata Fuente.

Nonetheless, the belief in the Copa Libertadores may be gone for Toluca, but they are unbeaten in their last six league matches heading into this match. In contrast, Cruz Azul have lost three straight after having one of the longest unbeaten runs this season. For both sides, it is now or never if they if they want to be one of the eight teams fighting for the title.

Finally, the week will end with Chivas hosting Dorados de Sinaloa. Of course, the team from Culiacan have already been relegated, but they have shown real fight and honor to close out their season.

Chivas, meanwhile, have battled away all the pressure, and a win here could basically seal their place in the playoffs. Matias Almeyda's side have lost only once in their last nine league games, and there are few teams carrying more momentum than Chivas at the moment.

Below, you can find the full list of games and their time.
