Liga MX suspended during coronavirus outbreak

Liga MX has announced that it is to be suspended indefinitely while the coronavirus outbreak remains ongoing.

Mexico’s top flight has followed Europe’s biggest divisions, such as the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, the Bundesliga and Ligue 1, as well as MLS, in shutting down during the pandemic, which has infected over 160,000 people in the world across 157 countries and has killed more than 6,000.

There has been no indication of when play may resume, but it will be suspended after the completion of Matchday 10, in which fixtures were played behind closed doors.
