Astros begin quest for repeat basketball title

The Astros de Jalisco, winners of the 2025 CIBACOPA crown, open their 2026 playoff campaign on Friday, May 22, when they host the Caballeros de Culiacán in the first round of the pro basketball tournament’s postseason.

The best‑of‑seven series tips off at the Arena Astros in Guadalajara on Friday, May 22, 8 p.m., followed by Game Two on Saturday, May 23, 7 p.m. The next three games shift to Culiacán. If necessary, the series would return to Guadalajara for the final games on June 1 and 2.

The top‑seeded Astros (38‑2) enter the playoffs as heavy favorites after a dominant regular season. By contrast, the Caballeros de Culiacán secured the eighth and final playoff spot with a 20‑20 regular‑season mark.

Tickets for the first two home games are available at boletomovil.com/astros‑jalisco. Information on potential future home games will be released as the series progresses.
