Liga MX Website Suffers Outage During Apertura 2026 Matchday 11

Fans and journalists lost access to Liga MX's official website during Matchday 11 of the Apertura 2026 tournament on October 10, after the portal displayed error messages and a screen suggesting a possible cyber intrusion. The disruption affected access to match results, player statistics, lineups and standings while several Mexican soccer matches were underway, according to reports from MedioTiempo, El Universal and other outlets.

Users encountered different error messages throughout the afternoon and evening, including notices that the page was unavailable. MedioTiempo reported that the site, ligamx.net, also returned an ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE error, indicating that the server failed to deliver data after a connection attempt.

The incident drew additional attention when screenshots circulated showing a black screen with red lettering that read "Hacked by STNXZ". El Universal, Récord, Latinus and SoyReferee reported that users shared the images while attempting to access the league's digital services.

The displayed message raised questions about whether someone had altered the website, but the available evidence did not establish the cause or extent of the disruption. SoyReferee noted that the screenshot alone could not confirm whether personal information had been stolen, databases accessed or information belonging to clubs and players compromised.

As of the reports published on October 10 and early October 11, Liga MX had not publicly confirmed a cyberattack or explained the technical failure. The outlets also reported no official clarification establishing whether the incident resulted from a website update, a visible page alteration or unauthorized access to internal systems.

The website's availability fluctuated during the evening. According to MedioTiempo, access returned around halftime of the América versus Monterrey game, which was the final match scheduled for that day. El Universal reported that the portal initially displayed an image of its homepage before its usual functionality gradually returned.

The disruption occurred during a busy day in Mexican soccer, when supporters commonly use the league's website to check scores, individual statistics and competition standings. Despite the online problems, the scheduled matches continued, according to the published reports.

Matchday 11 results reported by MedioTiempo included Puebla's 1-1 draw with León, Tigres' 3-2 victory over Toluca, Querétaro's 2-0 win against Atlante and Atlas' 1-1 draw with Chivas.

Récord reported that the league's social media accounts remained operational during the incident. However, the available reports did not establish whether the website disruption affected any other digital services or whether the message attributed to STNXZ reflected access to the league's internal systems.
