What time Boca v River kicks off in the Apertura, line-ups and TV | OneFootball

After thrashing Barcelona of Ecuador at La Bombonera, Boca is ready to face a new edition of the Argentine football Superclásico. This Sunday they will visit River at the Monumental, with the chance to seal their qualification for the 2026 Apertura Tournament playoffs.

The Xeneize is ready to head to Núñez, thanks to the emotional boost provided not only by the win over the Ecuadorians, but also because the level of play shown left the feeling that Claudio Úbeda’s team is arriving in good form. Although the international competition match was on Tuesday, everything seems to indicate that he will go with the same outfield players and the only change will be forced, since Agustín Marchesín suffered a knee injury that will keep him out until next year.

In the 2026 Apertura Tournament, Boca comes in fourth place, with five wins, six draws and only two defeats. River, meanwhile, is also coming off a win in the Copa Sudamericana, with a team that rotated starters and substitutes, although it was only a narrow victory against Carabobo of Venezuela. In their group, Eduardo Coudet’s side is second and only three points behind Independiente Rivadavia, the leader. Since Chacho’s arrival, their eternal rival is unbeaten, with seven matches played, recording six wins and one draw, against Blooming in Bolivia.

As for the match details, it is important to note that the game will be played tomorrow, Sunday, April 19, starting at 5:00 p.m. Argentina time. It will be broadcast live for users who have the football package, on ESPN Premium and TNT Sports. In addition, the Boca-River clash at the Monumental will be refereed by Darío Herrera, with Héctor Paletta on VAR.
