Correa-Plasencia (ULL), A.E. Hernández-Díaz (ULL), E. Lekaroz-Urriza (ULL), M. Magdalena-Rodríguez (ULL), M. Quintana-Ansaldo (ULL), D. Rodríguez-Fernández (ULL), and J. Uríbarri-Dermit (ULL)\n\nWe report results of ATLAS forced photometry of the type Ic-BL SN 2026stf at z = 0.055 (Corcoran et al., GCN 45283) which appears associated with the LONG GRB 260708A detected by Fermi-GBM, Fermi-LAT, GECAM, and Glowbug (Fermi-GBM Team, GCN 45115; Holzmann Airasca et al., GCN 45117; Malacaria, GCN 45124; Ren et al., GCN 45126; Cheung et al., GCN 45130) and EP/FXT (Li et al., GCN 45150). The optical counterpart (AT 2026stf, MASTER OT J150237.02-435307.7) was discovered by MASTER (Shilova et al., GCN 45123; and Zhirkov et al., TNS Astronomical Transient Report No. 313535), with other reported optical detections (Freeberg et al., GCN 45127, Shi et al., GCN 45140, Sheng et al. GCN 45147, Shi et al., GCN 45280, Corcoran et al., GCN 45283, and O'Neill et al., TNS photometry report).\n\nUsing the ATLAS forced-photometry server (Shingles et al. 2021, Transient Name Server AstroNote 2021-7), we find four detections of the fading afterglow in the ATLAS orange filter starting on MJD = 61230.82579, at about 1.40 days after the Fermi trigger, at an ATLAS orange magnitud of o = 18.567 +/- 0.106, and more detections close to the minimum of the light curve and in 10 more epochs that include the rebrightening in the SN Ic-BL phase. The last ATLAS non detection was on MJD = 61228.84782, about 0.58 days before the Fermi trigger.\n\nThe following table gives the ATLAS forced photometry since MJD = 61200. We note that according to the methods of the ATLAS forced photometry, if the flux is negative, then a magnitude is still quoted and denoted with a negative sign (see https://fallingstar-data.com/forcedphot/resultdesc/). Magnitudes are in the AB system and are not corrected for interstellar medium absorption. Fluxes are in uJy.\n\n\n      MJD.    |  mag  | e_mag |flux |e_flux| filter| observation\n----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n
