Apertura fixtures ahead: date and time of the Superclásico

Article image:Apertura fixtures ahead: date and time of the Superclásico

The AFA Professional Football League confirmed the schedule for Matchdays 13 through 16 of the Apertura Tournament, so it is now known that Independiente and Racing will face each other on Saturday, April 4 at the Libertadores de América, and that River will host Boca on Sunday, April 19 for a new edition of the Superclásico.

After the FIFA date, in which the Argentina national team will face Mauritania and Zambia, local football will return with a major showdown: Independiente against Racing. The Avellaneda derby will be played at the Libertadores, on Rojo’s home ground, after the two draws produced in 2025, the year in which the current competition system was introduced.

Matchday 14 will feature two huge clashes: Boca will host Independiente on Saturday, April 11, and Racing will do the same against River the following day. For now, there is no schedule for Matchday 9, which remains pending and will be played on the last weekend of April.

Matchday 15 will have the most important match of the tournament’s regular phase: River against Boca at the Monumental. Last year, the Millonario won 3-2 in Núñez, but the Xeneize celebrated a 2-1 win at La Bombonera.

The final matchday, which will begin on Thursday the 23rd and end on April 27, will not be the one that determines the eight teams qualified for the Playoffs, since Matchday 9, which was postponed due to the AFA strike, will be played the following weekend.
