Atlante and Rayados de Monterrey meet this Friday, September 25, 2026, at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes for Matchday 10 of the Liga MX Apertura 2026 tournament. Kickoff is scheduled for 19:00 local time in central Mexico, with international streaming and broadcast options varying widely by region.
Match Context and Current Form
Atlante enters this fixture after recording five consecutive matches without winning and five draws in nine matches. In their previous outing, the Potros de Hierro drew 1–1 against Puebla, courtesy of an opening goal from Walter Portales in the 41st minute before Mathías Tomás leveled the score in the second half. That result leaves Atlante looking for a victory as they host a Monterrey side.
Rayados de Monterrey arrives with renewed momentum following a narrow 1–0 victory over Cruz Azul, secured by a lone strike from César Garza. Under the direction of manager Matías Almeyda, Monterrey sits seventh in the Liga MX standings with 13 points and a game in hand.
