About This Event
This market will resolve to "Yes" if the listed team finishes 2nd (runner-up) in the 2026 Liga MX Apertura competition final phase. Otherwise, it will resolve to "No". In the event of a tie, this market will resolve to the team officially recognized by Liga MX as finishing in second place in the Apertura final phase. If multiple teams are officially awarded second place, the market will resolve to the team whose listed name comes first alphabetically. If at any point it becomes impossible for the listed club to finish 2nd in the 2026 Liga MX Apertura competition (e.g. they are mathematically unable to achieve enough points), the market will resolve to "No". If the 2026 Liga MX Apertura is cancelled, postponed after December 27, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or there is otherwise no 2nd place team declared within that timeframe, this market will resolve to "Other". The primary resolution source will be official information from Liga MX. A consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
This analysis is awaiting a background update, so its prices may be older than the odds above.

What the contract measures
Each market in this event asks whether one named club will finish second in the 2026 Liga MX Apertura. The rules say the market "will resolve to "Yes" if the listed team finishes 2nd (runner-up) in the 2026 Liga MX Apertura competition final phase. Otherwise, it will resolve to "No"" [1]. Ties are settled by the team Liga MX officially recognizes as second, and if several teams are awarded second place, the market goes to the name that comes first alphabetically [1].
Two other rules matter when comparing contracts. If a club becomes mathematically unable to finish second, the market resolves "No" [1]. If the competition is cancelled, or no second-place team is declared by the cutoff in the rules, it resolves "Other" [1]. The rules name December 27, 2026, 11:59 PM ET as that cutoff. This is a contract term, not an announced event date, and the listed end time for every market is 2026-12-28T04:59:00.000Z [1].
Reading the snapshot
The provider observed these prices at 2026-10-20T03:00:06.020Z, and the record was retrieved at 2026-10-20T03:07:06.079Z [1]. These are snapshot values at that time, not current quotes. They are also not executable prices or verified probabilities.
The sample is partial. The saved event lists 19 markets, and 12 are included [1]. The sample ranks markets by Yes price, so the omitted seven are lower-priced in the provider's ordering, but their prices are not shown and should not be estimated from the sample.
Among the included contracts, the highest quoted Yes prices are Club América at 0.215, Pachuca at 0.189, Guadalajara (Chivas) at 0.18, and Cruz Azul at 0.175 [1]. Tigres UANL, the lowest included, is at 0.0185 [1]. Each contract is a separate binary market, so comparing their Yes prices shows relative quotes at one moment, not a combined forecast. The prices should not be summed or averaged into a field-level view.
Volume is not included in this evidence, so nothing here can be said about liquidity or the number of traders.
What remains uncertain
The evidence does not explain why any price is where it is. It contains no news, standings, or match results, so it cannot say whether any club's position has changed. The sample does not show the full field, and no other provider's listing is included for comparison. Because the contracts close on the stated end time and resolve under the cited rules, the final outcome depends on what Liga MX declares, not on these snapshot prices.

Saved Oct 20, 2026 UTCOverview
This PredictPedia topic covers a prediction market on the runner-up position in the 2026 Liga MX Apertura, the first of the two tournaments that make up a Liga MX season [2]. The contract asks whether a listed club will finish second in the Apertura final phase. Each club has its own market with Yes and No outcomes, and the event is listed on Polymarket [1]. The resolution rules are specific. A market resolves to Yes if the listed team finishes second, or runner-up, in the 2026 Liga MX Apertura final phase. It resolves to No otherwise. If a club becomes mathematically unable to finish second, for example because it cannot earn enough points, the market resolves to No before the tournament ends [1]. If the Apertura is cancelled, is postponed after December 27, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET, or no second-place team is declared within that timeframe, the market resolves to Other [1]. The listed end time for the event is 2026-12-28T04:59:00.000Z [1]. That timestamp is the listed contract end time, not an announced date for any match or ceremony. For a tie, the rules point to the team that Liga MX officially recognizes as second place in the Apertura final phase. If several teams are officially awarded second place, the market resolves to the team whose listed name comes first alphabetically [1]. The primary resolution source is official information from Liga MX, and a consensus of credible reporting may also be used [1]. The sampled market prices are snapshots from an observation time of 2026-10-20T03:00:06Z, which is a historical point in the contract's life rather than a live reading [1]. They are not executable quotes, and they are not verified probabilities. Trading volume is also not included in this sample, so it should not be read as a measure of liquidity or of how many people traded.
Historical Context
Liga MX is the highest level of the Mexican football league system and is contested by 18 participating clubs. Its season is divided into two tournaments, Apertura and Clausura, and the champion of each is decided by a final knockout phase commonly known as the Liguilla [2]. Since 2020, promotion and relegation has been suspended [2]. The league was formerly known as Liga Mayor from 1943 to 1949 and as Primera División de México from 1949 to 2012 [2]. For the 2023-24 season, the league's 77th professional season, the year was split into the Apertura 2023 and the Clausura 2024. Both tournaments used an identical format and were contested by the same eighteen teams [3]. This background describes the league's structure in earlier seasons. It does not describe the 2026 Apertura's current standings or results, which are not in the supplied evidence.
Why It Matters
The contract measures a single outcome within the 2026 Liga MX Apertura: whether a specific club finishes as runner-up in the final phase [1]. Because the Apertura's final phase is a knockout tournament, the runner-up position depends on how the Liguilla unfolds, which is why the rules include tie-breaking and cancellation provisions [2][1]. The contract's rules define what counts as a qualifying result. Official Liga MX information is the primary source for resolution, with credible reporting available as a secondary basis [1]. The separate Other outcome applies if the tournament is cancelled or delayed past the stated timeframe, so a traded position may not settle as a plain Yes or No [1]. The current event includes 19 markets in total, and 12 are included in this sample, so the sample does not show every club in the field [1]. The included markets are ordered by their Yes price, so the sample shows the higher-priced positions first. The omitted markets are not shown here, and their prices should not be inferred from this sample.
