The next time the 'Clásico del Pacífico' could be played is during the Copa América, which will take place in the United States between June 20 and July 14, 2024. However, there are no guarantees that both teams will face each other during this tournament, as they could end up in different groups.
When will Peru vs. Chile face each other again?
The next match scheduled between both teams will take place on Thursday, November 14 for the 2026 Qualifiers. On this occasion, the Peruvian national team will be the home team against its historic rival, so the match will be played at the Estadio Nacional in Lima.
