Independiente del Valle, the prominent Ecuadorian football club, has received and announced its fixtures for the group stage of the Copa Libertadores 2026. The club is preparing to face a competitive group, with the dates and matchups confirmed by Conmebol even though specific times are yet to be established. The tournament's first match will take place on April 7 against Rosario Central at the Gigante de Arroyito Stadium in Rosario, Argentina.

Following the debut, Independiente del Valle will host Universidad Central de Venezuela on April 14 at the Banco Guayaquil Stadium, marking their first home game in the group stage.
