Boca Juniors v. River Plate: how to watch the Superclásico today

Find out how to watch the classic clash between the Argentine football giants

Argentine football giants Boca Juniors and River Plate are facing off today in the 2023 Copa de la Liga Profesional Argentina  — the world-renowned Superclásico.

The classic clash between Xeneizes and Millonarios at Boca’s La Bombonera stadium headlines the weekend of derbies, often called Fecha de Clásicos: here’s how you can watch it live.

The game is at 2 p.m, with Andrés Merlos as referee. In Argentina, both ESPN Premium and TNT Sports will broadcast the match live, requiring a subscription.

If you are in the United States or Latin America, streaming services Fanatiz, Paramount+, AFA Play, and TyC Sports Internacional will show the game. In the US, you can tune in to channel 469 on Direct TV and channel 1536 on Verizon. 

Looking back, the record favors Boca, who won 91 of the 259 matches played between them across all eras and competitions. River won 85 matches, with 83 ties. And there’s one 1919 game that ended 0-0 but it’s not usually counted since the entire tournament was canceled. Boca currently sits in ninth place in group B with seven points, and has a tense series of upcoming games: the Superclásico is sandwiched between its Copa Libertadores semi-finals clashes with Palmeiras on Thursday and then on October 5. For its part, River occupies fifth place in group A with 10 points, having already been eliminated from the international competition.
