Cruz Azul to leave CDMX, will play in Puebla for the Clausura 2026 | OneFootball

We are just a few hours away from kickoff in Liga MX, and Cruz Azul has announced that they will not play in Mexico City during the Clausura 2026.

Earlier today, it was revealed that La Máquina would be leaving Ciudad Universitaria, and all signs pointed to a return to Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes.

However, the Cruz Azul saga has taken a new turn, and the Liga BBVA MX has officially announced that Cruz Azul will play their home matches at Estadio Cuauhtémoc in the city of Puebla.

Everything suggests that this change will only last for six months, and once Estadio Azteca is ready, La Máquina will return to Mexico City.
