Liga MX Jerseys

Liga MX is the premier professional soccer league in Mexico and one of the most-watched leagues in North America. Founded in 1943, the competition has grown into a tournament-format season — the Apertura and Clausura — drawing massive crowds to iconic stadiums such as the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City and the Estadio BBVA in Monterrey. Mexican club soccer has a passionate supporter culture that travels well, and Liga MX jerseys are popular not only throughout Mexico but also among millions of fans in the United States and beyond.

The league’s storied rivalries — most notably the Clásico Nacional between Club América and Chivas Guadalajara — give Liga MX kits an emotional weight that makes them treasured items for supporters. Whether you back the yellow and navy of América, the red and white stripes of Chivas, or the deep blue of Cruz Azul, wearing your club’s colors is a statement of identity.

Below you’ll find Liga MX clubs with dedicated jersey pages. Each one brings together home, away, third, kids, retro and custom options so you can find exactly the kit you want and check out on Amazon.

History and Format of Liga MX

Mexican top-flight soccer traces its roots to the early twentieth century, but the fully professionalized league now known as Liga MX was established in 1943. Over the following decades it expanded steadily, absorbing clubs from across the country and building the infrastructure — large stadiums, television deals and cross-border fan bases — that makes it one of the highest-attended domestic leagues anywhere in the world.

Today Liga MX operates a split-season format. The Apertura tournament typically runs from July through December, while the Clausura runs from January through May. Each tournament concludes with a playoff bracket called the liguilla, in which the top eight clubs from the regular season compete in two-leg knockout ties until a champion is crowned. Because every tournament produces its own champion, Mexican fans often talk about clubs in terms of championship tallies across both halves of the calendar year.

The league currently fields eighteen clubs drawn from cities across Mexico, from the northern industrial hub of Monterrey down to the southern states, as well as international clubs under special membership arrangements. Relegation and promotion connect Liga MX to the second-division Liga de Expansión MX, keeping competition fierce for bottom-table clubs each season.

Biggest Clubs and Iconic Rivalries

A handful of clubs dominate Liga MX history and generate the most jersey sales worldwide.

Club América

Based at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, Club América is the most decorated club in Liga MX history and consistently ranks among the most popular soccer teams in North America. Their bold yellow and navy home kit — sometimes called the “Aguilas” (Eagles) jersey after the club crest — is instantly recognizable at grounds throughout Mexico and at watch parties across the United States. América typically release both a home and away jersey each season, and special-edition third kits appear regularly to celebrate anniversaries or cultural milestones.

Chivas Guadalajara

Chivas de Guadalajara, formally Club Deportivo Guadalajara, carry a unique distinction in Liga MX: the club has historically fielded an all-Mexican squad, a policy that resonates deeply with national identity and pride. Their red and white vertical-striped jersey is one of the most iconic kits in the Americas. The Estadio Akron in Guadalajara routinely sells out, and Chivas scarves and shirts are a common sight at Mexico national team matches as well as at Mexican-community events in cities across the United States.

The Clásico Nacional

When América and Chivas meet, the match is known as the Clásico Nacional — one of the most-watched club soccer fixtures in North America. The rivalry cuts along lines of region (Mexico City versus Guadalajara), identity (corporate versus nationalist) and style. Wearing the jersey of either club to a Clásico is a declaration of belonging, and demand for both clubs’ kits typically spikes in the days surrounding each meeting.

Cruz Azul

Cruz Azul play in the distinctive sky blue that gives the club their name. Founded as a workers’ cooperative in Jasso, Hidalgo, before relocating to Mexico City, Cruz Azul have a devoted following and a history of deep playoff runs. Their home jersey is one of the cleanest, most recognizable kits in Latin American soccer: a bold solid blue with the cement-company crest that nods to the club’s working-class roots.

Monterrey and Tigres UANL

The northern city of Monterrey is home to two of Liga MX’s most successful modern clubs. Monterrey (Rayados) wear blue and white stripes and have been regulars in CONCACAF Champions Cup competition, reaching the finals of that tournament on multiple occasions. Tigres UANL, the university club in the same city, wear gold and navy and have built one of the most enviable runs of form in Liga MX over the past decade. The rivalry between these two Monterrey clubs — the Clásico Región — is fiercely contested and generates strong kit demand on both sides.

Pumas UNAM

Pumas UNAM represent the National Autonomous University of Mexico and are deeply embedded in the cultural life of Mexico City. They play in gold and navy and have a loyal student and alumni supporter base that gives the club a distinctly academic identity. Pumas jerseys are popular gifts among university communities both in Mexico and abroad.

Iconic Liga MX Kits Through the Years

Liga MX has produced a number of kits that have become collector’s items over the decades. América’s yellow shirts from the 1980s and early 1990s — adorned with the logos of sponsors that feel completely of their era — are fondly remembered. Chivas’ centenary jersey, released to mark the club’s hundredth anniversary, blended the classic red and white stripes with commemorative detailing and sold out quickly. Cruz Azul have released anniversary kits that return to older badge designs and typography, appealing to supporters who followed the club during its most celebrated championship years.

Retro Liga MX jerseys have grown into a serious collecting category. If you’re interested in vintage designs, our retro soccer jerseys page is a good starting point. Club pages for América, Chivas and Cruz Azul also list retro options available on Amazon.

Liga MX Jersey Buying Guide

Liga MX jerseys follow the same general kit structure found at clubs around the world. The home jersey showcases each club’s primary colors and crest, the away jersey offers a contrasting design for road fixtures, and some clubs release a third or special-edition kit each season. You’ll also find kids and youth sizes for younger supporters and retro designs that celebrate historic Liga MX eras.

When shopping on Amazon, read each listing carefully to confirm the season, whether the jersey is authentic or replica, and the available sizes. Replica kits are the most affordable and popular choice for everyday fans, while authentic jerseys match the on-field specification with a closer fit. For help choosing between the two, see our authentic vs replica jerseys guide and our sizing guide.

Authentic vs Replica Liga MX Jerseys

Authentic Liga MX jerseys are manufactured to the same performance standard worn by players during matches. They typically feature a slim athletic cut designed to sit close to the body, advanced moisture-wicking fabric technology, and heat-applied or laser-cut club badges rather than embroidered ones. The tradeoff is a higher price point and a fit that some fans find uncomfortable for casual wear.

Replica jerseys use a more relaxed, fan-friendly cut and standard polyester fabric. They look nearly identical to authentic versions from a distance and carry all the same colors, sponsor logos and crest details. For supporters planning to wear their kit at watch parties, around the city, or to the stadium, a replica is usually the smarter choice. Our authentic vs replica jerseys guide walks through the differences in detail.

Sizing Your Liga MX Jersey

Sizing conventions vary between kit manufacturers and between seasons, so it pays to check the size chart on every Amazon listing before you buy. As a general rule, Liga MX jerseys from major sportswear brands tend to run true to size for the home and away cuts, though some authentic versions run slightly smaller than equivalent replica sizes. If you are between sizes and plan to wear the jersey over a shirt or layer, sizing up is usually the safer call. For a full breakdown, visit our soccer jersey sizing guide.

Kids and Youth Liga MX Jerseys

Most Liga MX clubs produce youth and kids sizes alongside the adult range. Youth kits are a popular choice for families attending matches together or for gifts for younger supporters. As with adult sizing, check the Amazon listing’s size chart carefully, since youth sizing can differ noticeably between manufacturers and may not follow standard age-to-size conventions. Our kids soccer jerseys page has additional guidance on what to look for when buying for children.

Custom Liga MX Jerseys

Many Liga MX jerseys can be personalized with a player name and number, or with your own name to create a truly unique kit. Look for custom or personalized listings on Amazon for a thoughtful gift or a one-of-a-kind supporter item. Browse more options on our custom soccer jerseys page.

When to Buy a New Liga MX Jersey

Liga MX clubs typically unveil new kits at the start of each Apertura season in the summer, with away and third kits often following a few weeks later. Buying early in the season generally gives you the widest size selection, while buying toward the end of a kit cycle can sometimes mean discounted prices on outgoing designs. If a specific historic or retro design is your goal, check listings year-round, as availability can be limited and stock is not always replenished.
