Where to Watch Rosario Central vs. Newell’s in the 2026 Clausura Tournament Today

Rosario Central and Newell’s meet Sunday for another edition of one of football’s most intense derbies. The match begins at 2:45 p.m. at the Gigante de Arroyito, with Yael Falcón Pérez refereeing.

TNT Sports will broadcast the game, with online access through Flow, DGO and Telecentro Play. La Nación’s website will provide live updates and statistics.

The teams arrive level on 11 points, each with three wins, two draws and two defeats. Newell’s sit fifth in Group A, while Central are seventh in Group B. The rivalry stands apart from the tournament, but both clubs also need the three points to strengthen their chances of reaching the round of 16.

Newell’s have an additional concern. The club sit 25th in the average-points table and need to improve their position after several poor campaigns that could leave them facing relegation to the Primera Nacional.

Central are favored by bookmakers, with a maximum price of 1.59 for a home win. Newell’s are listed at 6.82, while the draw is priced at 3.60. Central won the teams’ Apertura meeting 2-0 at Marcelo Bielsa Stadium, with goals from Ángel Di María and Enzo Copetti.

That result gave Central six consecutive wins over Newell’s and extended their advantage in the overall rivalry to 22 matches. Since returning to the top division in 2013, Central have won 16 meetings and Newell’s two. Newell’s last victory came in March 2022, a 1-0 win at the Gigante de Arroyito. As hosts, however, they have not won since 2008. Across the amateur and professional eras, the clubs have met 276 times, with 99 Central wins, 77 for Newell’s and 103 draws. Two AFA championship matches were awarded as defeats to both teams after incidents.
