  • Tijuana will host Pumas on Friday, August 28, in a Liga MX Apertura 2026 match corresponding to Jornada 6.
  • The match is a direct confrontation for Liguilla playoff positions, with Tijuana currently sixth and Pumas seeking to improve their standing.
  • Tijuana lost their last match 5-2 to Chivas, while Pumas are looking to break a streak of two draws.

Liga MX's Friday night action concludes with an intriguing clash at the Estadio Caliente as Tijuana, managed by Sebastián Abreu, hosts Esteban Solari's Pumas. This match, part of Jornada 6 of the Apertura 2026 season, is a crucial encounter for both teams vying for Liguilla playoff berths.

Tijuana, known as the Xolos, currently sits in sixth place in the standings with 10 points. Their record includes three wins against Tigres, León, and Cruz Azul, along with one draw against Atlético San Luis. However, they are looking to rebound from a disappointing 5-2 defeat to Chivas in their last outing at the Estadio Akron.

The visiting Pumas are in a less stable position, having secured two consecutive draws against Querétaro and Necaxa at their home ground, the Olímpico Universitario. This recent form has seen them accumulate only two points from their last six available, making this away fixture a critical opportunity to gain ground and climb the table.

The match is scheduled for Friday, August 28, at 21:10 local time. Fans can catch the action on FOX and FOX One.
