How to Watch Liga MX (in the U.S.)
Mexico's top soccer league, Liga MX has a huge following even outside its home country. In the United States, TV networks compete heavily for broadcast rights. It always comes down to Univision and Telemundo and, currently, Univision has the bulk of the rights through 2026. On an average week, here's when most matches are played...
- Friday - most Friday nights, 1-2 live matches are played. They're usually on TUDN or one of their secondary networks (e.g., TUDNxtra).
- Saturday - a block of 3 matches (6 hours) every Saturday night. These are always shown on Univision and TUDN.
- Sunday - on Sundays, you'll get another 2 to 3 games. Broadcasting channels vary depending on the match-up and which team is at home.
In the states, Univision holds the rights to the majority of Liga MX matches. Depending on the day of week and popularity of the game, they're broadcast on a specific or mix of channels. Top-tier matches or those on the weekend often end up on Univision. Most other matches can be seen on TUDN and/or ViX.
NBC Sports, who owns Telemundo, currently only has the rights to Guadalajara home matches. UNIVERSO and Peacock are other ways to stream those games (English broadcasts on Peacock).
Fox Sports has the rights for the home matches of Monterrey, Santos Laguna and Tijuana. Most of those games are shown on Fox Deportes. Popular contests are upgraded to Fox Sports 1 and Fox Sports 2.
Along with Fox Sports, ESPN shares coverage of home games of Monterrey, Santos Laguna and Tijuana. They can almost always be seen on ESPN Deportes.
DIRECTV Stream has all the Liga MX channels
As you can see, there are a variety of different channels that could broadcast a Liga MX game. Each club has the freedom to negotiate their own TV deal for home games. If you only follow one team, you might be able to watch most of their contests on Univision (for free with an antenna). But, you'll often find the next match will not be on Univision. In most cases, a streaming provider is the cheapest and easiest way to watch it. For Liga MX (and soccer in general), DIRECTV Stream is almost always your best bet. It carries ALL the Liga MX channels and conveniently offers a 5-day trial.

Visit DIRECTVBest plan options: Choice and Ultimate
Of the four DIRECTV Stream plans, we typically recommend Choice and Ultimate. They both include Univision but only Choice also has Unimas. To get ESPN Deportes and FOX Deportes, you'll need to get the MiEspañol genre pack. Genre packs can be an add-on to a base plan (like Choice) or a stand-alone.

Liga MX Broadcast Teams and Pre-Game Shows
TUDN, which broadcasts 16 of the 18 teams on a regular basis, has excellent coverage. Pre-game and for Spanish-language viewers, their flagship soccer show is Fútbol Central. Seasoned hosts like Alejandro Berry get you informed all the way to kick-off. For the matches themselves, their play-by-play and analyst teams (almost) always keep the game interesting, even when goals are scarce. Some of their best play-by-play guys include Paco Villa and Enrique Bermúdez.
On the English-language side, José Hernández and Alejandro Berry show their versatility by calling a bunch of the action. Ex-players such as Moisés Muñoz toss in plenty of color during key moments of the game.
Though Telemundo is currently only covering Chivas de Guadalajara matches, they still put on a well-rounded show, before and after the game too. Pre-games usually air on Universo or Peacock with the English-language broadcast of the games on Peacock. Tune to Telemundo or Universo for the traditional Spanish-language coverage. Note that Telemundo also has rights to the Chivas women's team (Chivas Femenil). It gets similar coverage across all the same networks.
Important Dates
Running continuously for half a year, Liga MX has a few important dates. There aren't any major groups or ports, all teams roughly play all the others an equal amount of times. The top teams towards the end of the season qualify for play-in matches. Winners move on to the semifinals a few days later, with the finals about a week later.
