Overview
- Kickoff is 8:00 p.m. CT at Estadio Universitario, with the return set for Sunday at Nemesio Diez.
- In Mexico the match airs on Azteca 7, Canal 5, TUDN and ViX, while U.S. coverage includes Telemundo and Univision platforms as well as Fox Sports.
- Both teams advanced from tied semifinals—Toluca 3-3 Monterrey and Tigres 2-2 Cruz Azul—thanks to regular‑season standings, a tiebreaker that is not used in the final.
- Toluca forward Alexis Vega remains doubtful despite traveling, and defender Bruno Méndez has returned to availability after injury.
- Pre‑match models give Tigres a slight edge for a low‑scoring opener, as Toluca hunt a rare bicampeonato and a 12th title and Tigres target a ninth crown.
