The clash is aimed at giving both teams a morale boost ahead of the final stretch of the Liga MX Clausura tournament.
The match will take place at the Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego, California on March 23, 2025, kicking off at 21:30 hours CDMX (20:30 local time). Fans can look forward to watching the action unfold on TV Azteca and its corresponding streaming service, Azteca Deportes Network — good news considering that many supporters prefer free TV options.
