Atlante vs Club América set for July 24, 2026 at Estadio Azteca
The Jornada 2 fixture of the Apertura 2026 Liga MX season pits Atlante against Club América on Friday, 24 July 2026. The match marks Atlante’s first home game at the Estadio Azteca in more than a decade, as the Potros de Hierro return to Primera División after a 12‑year absence.
Kick‑off is scheduled for 21:00 central‑Mexico time. Broadcasts will be on Azteca 7 (free‑to‑air), the Azteca Deportes app, as well as on ESPN, Disney+ Premium and other pay‑TV platforms. Atlante aim to secure their first points after a 2–1 loss to Necaxa, buoyed by the recent signing of Colombian goalkeeper David Ospina and the arrival of defender Aaron Quirós. América enter the match after a 1–0 away win over Querétaro, though defender Alan Cervantes will miss the game following a red card in the previous match. Club América are now coached by Guillermo Almada, whose emphasis on youth has been praised by Atlante midfielder Dagoberto Espinoza.
Both sides view the encounter as a key test early in the season, with Atlante hoping to cement their top‑flight return and América seeking to maintain momentum under their new technical staff.
