Apertura run-in: date and kick-off time for the Superclásico | OneFootball

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 international break, in which the Argentina National Team will face Mauritania and Zambia, local football will return with a major showdown: Independiente vs. Racing. The Avellaneda derby will be played at the Libertadores, on El Rojo’s home ground, following the two draws produced in 2025, the year in which the current competition format was introduced.

Matchday 14 will feature two big 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 feature the most important game of the tournament’s regular phase: River against Boca at the Monumental. Last year, El Millonario won 3-2 in Núñez, but El Xeneize celebrated a 2-1 win at La Bombonera.

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