The Tapatío Classic changes schedule

The highly anticipated Clásico Tapatío between Chivas and Atlas , corresponding to Matchday 15 of the 2025 Apertura Tournament, suffered an adjustment in its official schedule. Originally scheduled to start at 9:07 p.m. on Saturday, October 25, as had been announced even on the platform where the Rebaño broadcasts its home games; now, the match will finally be played at 7:07 p.m. at the Akron Stadium, after a modification that has not even been announced by Liga MX or the clubs, but was changed naturally.

The change is due to logistical and scheduling adjustments, seeking to facilitate the security operation and improve conditions for the attending public. The measure has been welcomed by both local authorities and the clubs , as the earlier schedule ensures faster evacuation of the stadium, greater security in the surrounding area, and the opportunity for more families to come to the stadium to enjoy the most passionate match in Jalisco soccer.

Before the ball rolls in the Clásico, both teams will face midweek commitments in the tournament's doubleheader . Chivas will visit Querétaro at La Corregidora Stadium, while Atlas will host León at Jalisco Stadium, both matches scheduled for Wednesday, October 22.

The Clásico Tapatío comes at a key moment for both teams, who are looking to secure their place in the qualifying zone heading into the Liguilla. As every year, anticipation for the match between the Rebaño Sagrado and the Zorros is extremely high , and everything indicates that tickets will sell out in a matter of days, regardless of the new schedule.

With the modification, fans will be able to enjoy a more comfortable and safe match , keeping intact the excitement of one of the oldest and most heated rivalries in Mexican soccer.
