Club América v Cruz Azul today – what time and where to watch? | OneFootball

Today, Club América takes on Cruz Azul at the Estadio Azteca.

The first clásico of the season is here with the showdown against Cruz Azul, in a match that promises to be very interesting given the current form of both teams.

Las Águilas come into this match after the tough blow of being eliminated in the Leagues Cup and then losing a match that perhaps no longer mattered, the tournament’s third-place game.

But in Liga MX they have posted very good numbers, recording five wins and one draw, while also boasting the best defense in the tournament with just two goals conceded.

The opponent this time, Cruz Azul, was eliminated in the first stage of the Leagues Cup and has been very inconsistent in the Apertura 2026 with four wins and three losses, while also being one of the worst defenses in the tournament with 11 goals conceded.

It is clear that we can talk about an evenly matched game, since América has dipped a little lately, while Cruz Azul picked up a couple of wins in the local tournament against Necaxa and Santos, respectively.

Ruled out for this match.
