Santos Laguna vs Pachuca is available to watch live in the United States. TV channel and live stream options are listed below.
Santos Laguna host Pachuca at Estadio Nuevo Corona in Torreon in a Liga MX Apertura fixture that carries contrasting pressures for each side.
Renato Paiva's Santos Laguna arrive at this match in a difficult stretch of the season. Sitting deep in the relegation zone, Los Guerreros need points urgently, and their recent form has offered only partial encouragement.
Pachuca, managed by Benjamin Mora, come into this fixture in a more settled position. Los Tuzos have been unbeaten across their last four outings and will look to build on that momentum away from home.
Santos showed they can compete at this level with a win over Toluca in their most recent league outing, a result that will have lifted confidence ahead of this test. Whether Paiva's side can back that up against a Pachuca team with genuine playoff ambitions is the central question.
For Pachuca, a positive result in Torreon would strengthen their grip on a place in the top half and keep the playoff push on track through the second half of the Apertura.

Form
Santos Laguna head into this fixture with a record of two wins, one draw, and two defeats from their last five Liga MX matches. Their most recent result was a 2-3 win over Toluca, which followed a 2-1 victory over FC Juarez. In that five-match run, Santos scored seven goals and conceded six, with defeats to Cruz Azul and Puebla providing the low points. The win over Toluca is the brightest result in an otherwise inconsistent stretch.
Pachuca's last five competitive outings show two wins, three draws, and no defeats. Their most recent result was a 2-2 draw away to Tijuana, and they also beat Atlante 3-0 and FC Juarez 2-0 in that run. Los Tuzos scored nine goals and conceded five across those five matches. The unbeaten run reflects a side that has found a measure of solidity even when results have not always gone their way.
Head-to-Head Record
The most recent meeting between these sides came in April 2026, when Pachuca beat Santos Laguna 4-2 in a Liga MX fixture at Estadio Hidalgo. Before that, Santos won 1-0 at home in November 2025. Across the last five head-to-head encounters, Pachuca hold three wins to Santos Laguna's one, with one draw, and have scored ten goals to Santos' six.
Standings
Santos Laguna sit 17th in the Liga MX Apertura table, placing them in the relegation zone and making this fixture a must-win situation for Paiva's side. Pachuca are 11th, on the fringes of the playoff places, and a win in Torreon would move them closer to the top seven.
