Supporters can check the full season schedule on our fixtures page. The immediate next fixture for La Franja, however, is another one: they host the same Toluca side on September 5, a key encounter given that the Red Devils are second in the table.
The team is experiencing inconsistent form, with two wins, one draw, and two losses in their last five matches. Their home performance will be essential for aiming at a playoff spot. Technical director Carlos Durón recently explained some tactical aspects that have been important. "The foreign technical director explained how the early goal, set pieces, marking in the box, and attacks from the wings allowed La Franja to add their first three points of the championship," said Durón regarding the women's team's victory.
That analysis can also apply to the first team, which needs to be more effective in both penalty areas. The current squad and their individual statistics are available in our squad and stats sections.
Beyond the first team, the city is buzzing with sports activity. In American football, the Aztecas UDLAP declared themselves the strongest, fastest, and best physically prepared team of the decade and will compete in the 2026 ONEFA season. In basketball, the Lobos Puebla seek revenge against Soles de Mexicali in the Copa Value, relying on offensive threats like Elías King and Shaquille Johnson.
In baseball, the series between Pericos and Olmecas was interrupted by rain, forcing a rescheduled game at the Hermanos Serdán. The Pericos hold an undefeated 5-0 record in the South Zone Championship Series since 2010, a streak the Olmecas aim to break. Also, Puebla Femenil has started well, with six of their eleven players having already scored, including Kendryl Terrel and Laura Herrera.
Puebla sports also contribute to the national team. Three Lobos Puebla players, Karim Rodríguez, Jorge Camacho, and Israel Gutiérrez, were part of Mexico's victory over Brazil that keeps the country in contention for 2027 World Cup qualification. This achievement highlights the level of local talent.
Outside of team sports, the city prepares for World Photo Day 2026, where Steelers Nation will paint Puebla black and gold. Location, time, and required item details for the event are already available.
With focus returning to soccer, the September 15 match is a major opportunity for Puebla. A win against a direct rival like Toluca, who are second in the standings, would boost their campaign. La Franja must demonstrate their ability to respond at their fortress.
