Guadalajara Chivas is set for a key Liga MX Apertura 2026 match against Pachuca this Saturday, August 29th. The clash kicks off at 5:00 PM Central Mexico time at Estadio Hidalgo in Pachuca de Soto and will be broadcast live on the FOX One streaming service.
The red-and-white side arrives with high confidence following a 5-2 thrashing of Club Tijuana on August 22nd. That win is part of a positive run of three consecutive victories. In the overall table, Chivas sits in fourth place with 10 points, from three wins, one draw, and a single loss in five outings. Their goal difference stands at +3, with eight scored and five conceded. The club is just three points behind leaders Club America, keeping their title challenge alive.
The television broadcast of the match will be exclusive to the subscription service FOX One in Mexico. There will be no free-to-air television broadcast for this game.

The visit to Pachuca represents an important test in the search for consistency. The team holds a record of four wins and one draw in its last five matches, a sequence that shows clear improvement. This good form contrasts with the urgent need for a win that the local team has. Pachuca's Tuzos need to start collecting victories to not fall behind in the fight for playoff spots.
Chivas's offensive performance has been a strong point, as demonstrated by the five goals against Tijuana. Maintaining that effectiveness against a tough opponent like Pachuca at home will be key to bringing valuable points back from an away trip.
Regardless of the result at Estadio Hidalgo, the Liga MX schedule doesn't stop. The next stop for Guadalajara Chivas will be a trip to face Atletico San Luis on September 5th. San Luis currently sits in sixteenth place in the table, which, on paper, presents an opportunity for Chivas to continue adding points.
