Which tournaments will América play in during the first half of 2026? | OneFootball

In exactly one week, the Club América squad will be reporting in Coapa for medical and physical exams and to begin the preseason ahead of the next tournament.

One of the bad "habits" this management has is that they don't make moves in the transfer market until the squad reports in Coapa; that's why we still don't have anything official, neither arrivals nor departures, beyond all the rumors that have been circulating.

But it's important for the team to strengthen well, as in this first semester of the year, the eagles will be competing for two trophies and, additionally, the final stages will be without Mexican national team players.

What tournaments will the team compete in?

Clausura 2026.

After a blank 2025, the eagles will seek to return to prominence, although this time it will be a very different tournament as it has been confirmed that the playoffs will be played without Mexican national team players and even up to nine non-Mexican trained players can be fielded during the final stage to compensate.

This will make the tournament very different; for example, in the case of América, they could compete for the trophy without players like Luis Malagón, Israel Reyes, Kevin Álvarez, Álvaro Fidalgo, and 'Chiquito' Sánchez.

Concachampions 2026.

A new opportunity to break the 10-year streak without lifting this trophy; the draw has already taken place, so the opponent in the first round is known, as well as the path the team could take.

Just like the playoffs, from the semifinals onwards, Mexican clubs will be without their Mexican national team players.

These are the only tournaments for the first semester of 2026; if both trophies are won, they could add the Champion of Champions and the Intercontinental Cup for the second semester of the year.
