San Marcos de Arica, currently third in the Primera B table with 28 points, will host Deportes Iquique, who sit thirteenth with 16 points, in the northern classic on 31 July 2026 at 20:30. The match will be played at Estadio Carlos Dittborn in Arica and broadcast live on TNT Sports and HBO Max.
Deportes Iquique coach Hernán Peña discussed the squad’s readiness, noting the suspensions of midfielder Diego Orellana and forward Joaquín Pereyra and confirming the club’s search for a third offensive signing. Peña stressed that the team must approach the fixture with the same confidence as previous games.
