Santos Laguna vs CD Guadalajara: Where to Watch, TV Channel, Live Stream & Kick-Off Time | Liga MX | Goal.com US

Today’s game between Santos Laguna and CD Guadalajara will kick-off at Aug 16, 2026, 9:10 PM.

Santos Laguna vs CD Guadalajara is available to watch live in the United States. The TV channel and live stream options for this Liga MX fixture are listed below.

Santos Laguna host CD Guadalajara at Estadio Nuevo Corona in Torreon in what is a Liga MX Apertura fixture between two clubs arriving off the back of bruising Leagues Cup campaigns.

For Renato Paiva’s Santos side, the timing of this domestic return could not be more pressing. Los Guerreros won just one of their five Leagues Cup group-stage matches, and their Liga MX form before that tournament offered little comfort — defeats to CF America and Atlas had already left them rooted near the bottom of the Apertura standings.

Chivas come to Torreon having closed out their own Leagues Cup run with a 1-2 win over Seattle Sounders on August 13, a result that provided some late relief for Gabriel Milito’s squad after losses to Los Angeles FC and FC Dallas earlier in the tournament. The Dallas defeat in particular, described at the time as a stunning upset, underlined the inconsistency that has followed Guadalajara through the summer.

Milito’s side carry a distinct identity into every competition. Chivas field only Mexican players or those with a Mexican connection, a policy that shapes their squad-building and gives their performances a particular edge when domestic pride is on the line.

Santos sit 17th in the Apertura table, while Guadalajara are placed 12th. Neither club is in a position to treat this fixture as anything other than urgent.
