Buenos Aires, January 5 (NA) – With the schedule now official, the major football clubs in Argentina begin to meticulously plan their season start. Between late January and mid-March, Boca, River, Racing, Independiente, and San Lorenzo will face a demanding calendar, featuring weeks with two matches, long trips, and commitments that can begin to define early objectives in the championship. The schedule includes the distribution of weekday and weekend matches, respecting summer time and minimal rest periods between games, while also avoiding overlaps with international commitments. In this way, the Professional League seeks to ensure predictability for both clubs and fans, who can now plan when the 'big five' will play their first ten matches in the 2026 Apertura.
