Boca's preseason on January 2.

On the other hand, efforts are being made to organize a friendly match amid the preparatory work for the season. It would take place at La Bombonera, although the opponent has not yet been defined, as several are being considered.

It should be noted that the official season is scheduled to start on Sunday, January 25. On that day, Boca will host Deportivo Riestra at the Alberto J. Armando stadium for the first match of the Torneo Apertura 2026. Quickly, they will have only a few days to prepare for the next commitment, which will be midweek on Wednesday, January 28, against Estudiantes in La Plata.

It is still not defined whether Claudio Úbeda and his technical team, including Juvenal Rodríguez, Adrián Gerónimo, Cristian Aquino, and Cristian Muñoz, will be in charge of leading the players who are already scheduled to meet on January 2 in Ezeiza.
