The biggest game of the Liga MX Apertura 2026 season takes center stage on Saturday night as Club América host Chivas at the Estadio Azteca for the latest chapter of El Clásico Nacional.
It’s the most-bitter rivalry in all of Mexican soccer between the two most popular teams in the country. More than three points are up for grabs when these two sides meet, but Saturday’s clash is also of major significance in the Liga MX playoff race—especially when it comes to seeding.
