Boca v Racing, Torneo Apertura 2026: line-ups, kick-off time and TV | OneFootball

This Friday, Boca hosts Racing at La Bombonera for the sixth round of the 2026 Apertura Tournament. The team led by Claudio Úbeda needs to return to victory to dispel the ghosts of an end of cycle.

After the draw in the last round against Platense, the team led by "Sifón" will try to get back to winning ways. For this match, the Xeneize coach will bet on returning to a double striker formation and will set up his players in a 4-4-2 with Edinson Cavani returning to the starting lineup.

Claudio Úbeda needs a win to dispel rumors of a possible departure in the face of another adverse result, and doing so against Racing, who eliminated the team in the last championship, would be a good recovery. The Xeneize comes into this duel with 7 points in Zone A, the result of 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses.

The Academy, on the other hand, arrives with a similar context, although in reverse: they managed to recover from a bad start and have two wins and three losses, placing them in ninth position in Zone B with 6 points.

The match between Boca and Racing will be played this Friday, February 20, from 8 PM at the Alberto J. Armando stadium (La Bombonera). This duel can be watched live on TNT Sports. Additionally, it can be followed minute by minute on La Número 12 and the commentary from El Canal de Boca.

The main referee of the match will be Leandro Rey Hilfer and he will be accompanied by assistants Maximiliano Del Yesso and Sebastián Raineri. The fourth official will be Javier Delbarba, while in the VAR will be Héctor Paletta and Javier Uziga.

The Xeneize leads the historical record against the Academy: 94 wins to 75.
