Tigres UANL's match against Puebla in Matchday 10 of the Apertura 2026 has been rescheduled. The game will now kick off at 9:10 PM on Saturday, September 26 at the Estadio Universitario, moved from its original 7:00 PM start time to avoid a clash with Rafael Márquez's debut as Mexico head coach against Colombia.
The Mexico national team fixture takes place on the same day in Baltimore, United States. Márquez did not call up any Tigres players for his first match in charge, leaving manager Víctor Manuel Vucetich with a full squad for a key encounter. Tigres, sitting 16th in the general table with just 7 points, desperately need a win.
The rescheduling avoids an audience conflict and allows fans to follow both events. "The match will remain on Saturday, September 26, but will begin at 9:10 PM at the Estadio Universitario," was confirmed. This adjustment was agreed between the club and the broadcaster. For Vucetich, it's a key opportunity to bounce back from last week's surprising 2-0 defeat to FC Juarez.
"The Tigres of Víctor Manuel Vucetich will try to take advantage of playing at home to recover from the surprising defeat suffered against Bravos de Juárez," the manager said. The team arrives with a run of one win, three draws, and one loss in their last five matches, having scored 9 and conceded 13 all season. Their next opponent, Puebla, arrives in eighth place with 14 points and an irregular streak of two wins, two losses, and a draw in their last five outings.
The recent head-to-head record is not encouraging: in the last meeting on March 5, Puebla won 3-1. Tigres will look to reverse that history at home with the advantage of no international absences. The full schedule for the final stretch of the tournament is available on our fixtures page.
