Overview
- The Asociación del Fútbol Argentino confirmed on Thursday that Estudiantes de La Plata and Independiente Rivadavia will play the Supercopa Argentina final on Friday 13 November 2026.
- The AFA has not yet announced the match kickoff time or the definitive stadium despite earlier plans that had placed the game at Belgrano’s Estadio Julio César Villagra.
- The fixture was first scheduled for 21 July but was postponed after Argentina’s national team returned from the 2026 World Cup and was later shifted through provisional November dates.
- Reports say a planned papal visit to Córdoba on 9 November could be a reason for the repeated changes because the event would demand large security deployments, though that link has not been confirmed by officials.
- Under competition rules the final will use extra time and, if needed, penalty kicks to decide a winner, and the victor will qualify for the newly created 2027 Recopa de Campeones; fans and clubs are awaiting AFA’s announcement of time and venue.
