Overview
- An owners’ assembly Thursday approved Orlegi’s sale of Atlas to Grupo PRODI, with the deal still awaiting antitrust clearance from the National Antimonopoly Commission.
- Orlegi will run Atlas through June 30 and PRODI takes over July 1, and the incoming owner says the club will remain based in Guadalajara.
- The assembly ratified Atlante’s entry for Apertura 2026 via Mazatlán’s affiliation certificate, with home games planned at Estadio Banorte and a women’s team project required under league rules.
- Club owners adopted a new governance model that legally separates Liga MX from the federation and creates committees for sport, commerce, investment and certification, plus ethics and good governance to tighten decision-making and oversight.
- After the transfers of Querétaro and Mazatlán and the Atlas approval, only Grupo Pachuca still owns two top-flight clubs, with outlets reporting the Atlas price near $220–$250 million and separate reports flagging ongoing talks about a possible MLS-style closed system.
