Morelia - Tijuana
9pm ET - Azteca, Fox Deportes
Mexico's Clausura season opener has Morelia hosting Edgar Castillo's Tijuana. Morelia finished the Apertura season in 7th-place, knocking out 2nd-place Cruz Azul in the opening round of the playoffs. They exited against Santos Laguna in the semifinals. Recently promoted Tijuana missed the playoffs, finishing 15th. That's respectable, considering Tecos, Club America, and Atlas finished behind them. Tijuana is a club to watch for American fans, making their intentions clear that they want to take advantage of being so close to San Diego. For anyone who has crossed the border at San Diego in either direction, 'close' is a relative term. Still, this is something to watch should Tijuana be able to develop a cross-border following.
Yes, it's also possible to watch the Mexican second division, the Liga de Ascenso, on American television. GolTV has the coverage, with Altamira hosting Toros Neza at 8pm.
