Liga MX semifinals dates, times set with Tigres vs. America kicking off round image

Liga MX on Monday announced the dates and times for the Apertura semifinals after the matchups were decided over the weekend.

The four top seeds moved on from the semifinals with No. 1 Monterrey easing past Atlas, but all three other semifinalists needed to rely on the second tiebreaker of better regular season finish to go through.

Still, there are a pair of intriguing semifinals awaiting fans with each team hosting one leg. Club America hosts Tigres on Wednesday at the Estadio Azteca before Saturday's return leg at Tigres' Estadio Universitario. The first leg will kick off at 10 p.m. ET with the second leg beginning at 8 p.m. ET.

Monterrey travels to face Morelia for a 8:30 p.m. ET kickoff Thursday before the return leg Sunday at 9 p.m. ET.

The first leg of the Liga MX final is set to take place Dec. 7 with the deciding match taking place Dec. 10.
