In October 2026, Colón participated in the 33rd round of the Primera Nacional Zona A, facing Mitre in Santiago del Estero. The match, which was rescheduled to a 16:00 kickoff, saw Colón attempting to improve its away record while fighting for a favorable playoff position. The squad received the return of captain Federico Lértora and Matías Muñoz, though they remained without Franco García, Matías Godinio, and Máximo Ingravidi.

By November 2026, Colón advanced to the first stage of the Primera Nacional playoffs. They were scheduled to host Ferrocarril Midland at the Brigadier López stadium on November 14. Due to a higher total point count of 60 compared to Midland’s 55, Colón retained home-field advantage, meaning they will advance if the match ends in a draw.

As the playoff approaches, coach Iván Delfino is focusing on player fitness. While Leandro Garate has recovered from a muscle tear, Matías Budiño and Ignacio Antonio are still working toward full fitness. The availability of Facundo Castet and Darío Sarmiento remains uncertain, and forward Franco García is unlikely to participate due to a foot injury. Club management is organizing ticket sales for both members and non-members to ensure a large crowd for the event.

Colón enters this elimination phase with strong momentum, having earned 11 of 15 possible points in their last five matches. Under Delfino, the team remains undefeated during this recent period.
