Cruz Azul v América: first clásico, TV channels and kick-off time | OneFootball

Club América are the nominal away side against Cruz Azul at Estadio Azteca in the season's first clásico. The meeting promises an intriguing contest given both teams' recent form.

Kick-off is on Saturday 12 September at 9.00pm Central Mexico time. According to Americayya.net, the match will be on Canal 5, TUDN, VIX Premium and Layvtime, with TUDN USA carrying it in the United States.

América arrive after their Leagues Cup elimination, then a third-place defeat that perhaps carried little significance. In Liga MX they have five wins and one draw, and the league's best defence with only two goals conceded.

Cruz Azul went out in the first phase of Leagues Cup. Their Apertura 2026 has been patchy, with four wins and three defeats, and one of the leakiest defences on 11 goals conceded.

It shapes as a tight match, with América dipping slightly while Cruz Azul have recorded back-to-back league wins over Necaxa and Santos.
