Club Pachuca could not enter the league directly and will previously have to play the Play-In against Club Universidad Nacional; therefore, it will suffer with a busy schedule due to its commitments in Conchachampions and Liga MX in a period of 48 hours.
This situation caused the discomfort of the physical trainer of the Hidalgo club, Rubens Valenzuelawho through his X account complained about the scheduling of the Mexican championship calendar.
“Impossible to play Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. As sports professionals and scientists we should not risk our players' health”
– Rubens Valenzuela.
“We are not to blame for the calendar. A calendar cannot take away that possibility from us, that is what our rivals are for,” the physical trainer wrote.

Los Tuzos face Club América in the second leg of the semifinals of the Concacaf Champions Cup 2024 next Tuesday, April 30 and after that they will have to play the Play-In (although the schedules have not been confirmed, it is scheduled to be played on Thursday, May 2) so they will only have two days to prepare for the duel against the felines.
The Tuzo team would have gotten rid of this problem if they had beaten Mazatlán on Matchday 17 at home, they would have qualified sixth in the Liguilla and would have avoided this complication. However, they will now have to face Pumas after the game against América and, if they lose, they will face the winner of the game between Necaxa and Querétaro on Sunday, May 5.
At the moment, Liga MX has not made a statement on the matter, but it seems that there will be no changes to the schedule and everything will be carried out as stipulated from the beginning.
