| NOTES |
- The round opens with Los Pampas at home against Yacare. The Buenos Aires team has a 6-1 record thus far in SRA 2026. Their one defeat was against Los Dogos, the same team that lost against Yacare a week ago.
- Yacare are in search of their second win of the season. The Paraguayan team were healthy winners in week seven but enter the new round clouded in doubt due to revelations that the team may fold due to financial reasons.
- Yacare won the corresponding fixture in Buenos Aires in 2025.
