Liga MX action resumes following the September international break with the biggest game of Apertura 2025 regular season as the main event.
Club América will host Chivas to add a new chapter to the biggest rivalry in Mexican soccer, El Clásico Nacional.
The two rivals have had very different starts to the Liga MX Apertura 2025 season. América are still undefeated in the league and currently sit second in the standings with 17 points through seven games. Las Águilas look poised to make yet another deep run in the playoffs come November.
Meanwhile, Chivas have started the Gabriel Milito era on the wrong foot, managing just four points from six games to start the season, which is good for 16th in the table, only avoiding being bottom of the league thanks to goal difference.
Recent history of the rivalry is extremely one-sided. Of the nine Clásicos since the start of 2024, Chivas have only managed to win twice. However, both wins came during two-legged playoff ties where América ultimately advanced in the Concacaf Champions Cup.
Despite América’s recent dominance, these games are usually strongly contested affairs where the unexpected is prone to happen. Chivas will be eager to end América’s unbeaten start of the season to finally kickstart their Apertura 2025 charge.
Here’s how you can watch El Clásico Nacional between Club América and Chivas on Saturday night.
