Club América will welcome Chivas to the Estadio Azteca on Saturday evening in what promises to be the standout fixture not just of the weekend, but of the entire Liga MX season, as the two storied rivals add another chapter to El Clásico Nacional.
The two most beloved, accomplished and historically significant clubs in Mexican soccer have cultivated one of the fiercest rivalries in all of Latin American football since their first encounter in 1943. Far more than three points are at stake whenever América and Chivas face off—a defeat in El Clásico Nacional is simply unacceptable.
América head into the match sitting third in the Apertura 2026 table after an encouraging start to the Guillermo Almada era. Las Águilas, however, are licking their wounds after suffering their first loss of the campaign last time out against crosstown rivals Cruz Azul, and will be desperate to bounce back with a win in El Clásico Nacional on home soil at the Estadio Azteca.
Chivas, meanwhile, are brimming with confidence following back-to-back commanding 3–0 victories, including a stunning display against last season's finalists Pumas just a week ago. Gabriel Milito's squad are once again looking like the most well-rounded side in the league, and the Argentine tactician will be driven to extend his unbeaten record against América with a third consecutive Clásico triumph.
The moment has arrived for the most eagerly awaited fixture of the Liga MX season, and here's everything you need to know about how to watch América vs. Chivas in the latest edition of El Clásico Nacional.

What's Next for América, Chivas?
Unlike the majority of leagues worldwide, Liga MX will not pause for the upcoming international break. Nevertheless, several players from both sides will depart to join Mexico's first training camp under new head coach Rafael Márquez.
América's schedule eases considerably in the coming weeks after a grueling run that featured back-to-back matches against their two fiercest rivals. Las Águilas will travel to face Necaxa, who have gone winless in their last five outings, on Sept. 27.
Chivas return to action on Sept. 26 when they host an in-form Querétaro side, who currently occupy a playoff position. Even so, Chivas will enter that contest with plenty of belief that a positive result is well within reach.
