Today's game between Tigres and Leon will kick off at Oct 20, 2026, 11:00 PM.
TV channel and live stream options for Tigres vs Leon are listed below. US viewers can catch the match on Fubo, UNIVERSO, FOX Deportes, DirecTV Stream, and Peacock.
Tigres UANL host Leon at Estadio Universitario in San Nicolas de los Garza in a Liga MX Apertura fixture that carries real meaning for both clubs at this stage of the season.
Guido Pizarro's Tigres come into this match sitting 13th in the Apertura standings, a position that demands results if they are to drag themselves into Liguilla contention. Home advantage at El Volcan is one of their most reliable assets, and they will need it here.
Leon arrive in better shape. Ignacio Ambriz has his side placed seventh in the table, within reach of the automatic qualification places, and the Esmeraldas have shown they can grind out results on the road.
Tigres drew 1-1 with CD Guadalajara in their most recent league outing, a point that did little to ease the pressure on a side that has struggled for consistency. A win here would change the mood significantly.
Leon lost 3-5 to CF America in their last match, a heavy defeat that will have stung. Ambriz's team will be looking to respond, and a trip to a struggling Tigres side offers that opportunity.

Head-to-Head Record

Before that, the two clubs drew 0-0 when Tigres hosted Leon in September 2025. Across the last five head-to-head matches, each side has won twice, with one draw, and the results have been closely contested throughout.
Standings
