The 2026–27 Club América season marks the club's 82nd consecutive year in Mexican top-flight football, with participation in Liga MX, the Leagues Cup, and the CONCACAF Champions Cup. This campaign notably signals the first season since 2021–22 without vice-captain Jonathan dos Santos, who departed as a free agent. Pre-season activities included a friendly against LA Galaxy (announced June 9), a match with Jaiba Brava on June 18, and an unpublicized behind-closed-doors game against Trival Valderas on June 28. Fans can look forward to marquee exhibitions against archrivals Guadalajara at the Oakland Coliseum (announced August 25) and a Clásico Joven against Cruz Azul at San Diego's Snapdragon Stadium (announced September 4). The Apertura league fixtures were officially revealed on June 9, 2026, setting the stage for the regular competition. As a Liga MX side, the team enters the Leagues Cup at the league phase.
