The Apertura 2026 will kick off this very week, and for this one time only, Matchday 1 will begin on Thursday and conclude on Saturday.

The reason for this is that Sunday will be left open, since the World Cup final will be played that day, remembering that the current semifinal matchups are France vs Spain and England vs Argentina.

So, for this one time only, we’ll have soccer on Thursday, and Club América will be in charge of closing out the matchday with a clash on Saturday night.

This is how Matchday 1 of the Apertura 2026 will be played.
