Independiente vs. Platense: Kickoff time, channel, and how to watch live

Independiente will host Platense on Saturday at the Libertadores de América Ricardo Enrique Bochini stadium for the fourth match of the 2026 Clausura Tournament. The home team is favored to win against a Platense side that is in a sporting crisis, having recently changed its coach.

The match is scheduled to kick off at 9:30 p.m. Argentine time, with Nicolás Ramírez as the referee and TNT Sports providing television coverage. Live minute-by-minute updates and statistics will be available on canchallena.com.

Independiente, managed by Gustavo Quinteros, currently sits third in their group's standings with six points, earned from two wins and a 1-0 loss to Vélez in the previous round. Platense, on the other hand, is at the bottom of the table with only one point. This poor performance led the club's management to hire Martín Palermo as the new coach, who will debut this weekend in his second stint with the team, replacing the dismissed Walter Zunino. Platense is coming off a heavy 4-0 defeat to Talleres.

Fans can watch the match live on TNT Sports through platforms like Flow, Telecentro Play, or DGO, provided they have an active subscription and the "Pack Fútbol" add-on. The last encounter between Platense and Independiente in the 2026 Apertura Tournament saw Independiente secure a 1-0 victory.
