Liga MX Rolls Out Semi-Automatic Offside Technology for Clausura 2026

VAR retains final authority as a FIFA-certified Genius Sports platform accelerates offside reviews.

Overview

  • The league-wide implementation follows a trial in the previous tournament and will cover every match of the Clausura 2026.
  • Liga MX says it becomes the first league in the Americas to adopt this semi-automatic offside system.
  • The setup deploys 28 cameras per stadium and AI to generate real-time 3D reconstructions that help identify offsides.
  • Use is limited strictly to offside decisions and does not extend to penalties, goals, or disciplinary incidents.
  • Genius Sports operates the system, as it does in the Premier League, and officials say it will make calls faster and more transparent.
