In late July 2026, Atlético Nacional announced its squad for the second round of the Liga BetPlay, noting the loss of midfielder Elkin Rivero to a metatarsal fracture, which is expected to sideline him for six weeks. The club also pursued defender Andrés Felipe Reyes from MLS to strengthen its defense. Following a 1–1 draw between Atlético Bucaramanga and Cúcuta Deportivo at the Estadio Américo Montanini—where Jaime Peralta scored for Bucaramanga and Emerson Batalla equalized for Cúcuta—the league faced a two-week hiatus caused by national unrest. Upon the resumption of competition for the sixth round, Atlético Bucaramanga prepared to face Deportes Tolima at the Manuel Murillo Toro stadium in Ibagué. Entering the match with an unbeaten streak in four games and 8 points, Bucaramanga’s coach, Pablo Peirano, noted that the break allowed for recovery and training focused on possession and finishing. However, the team faced selection challenges as Martin Rea, Omar Albornoz, and Juan Camilo Mosquera were unavailable due to physical issues. As the season progresses, Colombian clubs face various setbacks. Deportes Tolima, led by Sebastián Oliveros, traveled to Ecuador to face Independiente del Valle in the second leg of the Conmebol Libertadores round of 16, attempting to overcome a one-goal deficit despite the absence of Luis ‘Chino’ Sandoval and Bryan Rovira due to muscle injuries. Domestically, Deportivo Pasto dismissed head coach Jonathan Risueño after failing to secure any points in the first six matches of the season, leaving the club in the penultimate position. By late August, recent league results show Deportes Quindío securing a 1–0 victory over Envigado via a 71st-minute goal by Andrés Felipe Carabalí. In other Liga BetPlay action, Llaneros earned an away win against Deportivo Pasto, while Internacional de Bogotá recorded a 2–2 comeback draw against Deportivo Cali.
