In October 2026, Banfield supporters were permitted to travel to Victoria for a match against Tigre. This event marked the first time Tigre hosted away fans in a local tournament since 2013, and the first time Banfield fans were allowed to travel since April 2019.

By November 2026, the Agency for the Prevention of Violence in Sport (APREVIDE) imposed sanctions on Banfield ahead of a match against Atlético Tucumán. The club was notified that attendance in the Osvaldo Fani stand would be reduced to 50% following misconduct during a derby against Lanús, which included the use of noise bombs and fans hanging from perimeter fencing. Additionally, authorities prohibited hanging flags on the Valentín Suárez stand to maintain visibility for security cameras and police.
