The short answer: Liga MX rights in the USA are split club by club. Most teams — including América, Cruz Azul and Pumas — are on TelevisaUnivision: Univision and UniMás on free TV, TUDN on cable, and ViX Premium ($6.99/month) streaming the biggest digital-exclusive slate. Chivas home games are on Telemundo/Peacock, and Monterrey, Tijuana and Santos live on FOX's channels. New for 2026: Paramount+ carries 40+ matches with English commentary.
Confusing? Here's the club-by-club map, the cheapest setup, and what's genuinely free.
Where to watch Liga MX in the USA (by club)
| Clubs | Where their matches air | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| América, Cruz Azul, Pumas + ~12 more | Univision, UniMás, TUDN + ViX Premium (220+ matches/yr) | Free OTA / $6.99/mo |
| Chivas (home games) | Telemundo, simulcast on Peacock | Free OTA / $10.99/mo |
| Monterrey, Tijuana, Santos Laguna | FOX Deportes, FS1/FS2 | TV subscription |
| English-language selection | Paramount+ / CBS Sports Network (40+ matches, new for 2026) | From $8.99/mo |
Remember: in Liga MX you follow the home team's broadcaster — your club's away games air wherever the host club's deal lives.
ViX: the one subscription most fans need
ViX Premium ($6.99/month with ads, $10.99 ad-free) is the closest thing to a Liga MX league pass: TelevisaUnivision produces 220+ matches a year and puts its digital-exclusive games there, alongside everything that airs on Univision/TUDN. If your team is in the Televisa camp — that's roughly 13–15 of the 18 clubs — ViX covers almost every match.
Watching Liga MX for free
Liga MX is the most free-TV-friendly league in the US:
- Univision and UniMás — weekly matches free over the air with an antenna
- Telemundo — Chivas home games free OTA
- Estrella TV — select matches
- Pair an antenna with ViX's cheap tier and you're covering most of the league for under $7/month.
Watching in English
Historically Liga MX was Spanish-only in the US. That changed for 2026: Paramount+ and CBS Sports Network now carry 40+ matches per season with English commentary, and FOX airs some Monterrey/Tijuana matches on FS1/FS2 in English. If you already have Paramount+ for the Champions League or Carabao Cup, you now get Mexican football in the same subscription.
The Liga MX calendar
Liga MX plays two tournaments a year — the Apertura (July–December) and Clausura (January–May) — each ending in the Liguilla playoffs, which is when search-your-remote panic peaks and marquee games move to the biggest channels. The 2026 Apertura is already underway.
