Liga MX in the US — bigger than ever, and now in English too
Liga MX is one of the most-watched football leagues in the United States — driven by the large Mexican-American community and by the league's genuine quality, it regularly out-rates European leagues in US viewership. So "where do I watch Liga MX in the US" is a major question, and the answer spans more platforms than almost any other league because the rights are spread across several broadcasters by club. The familiar framing is that Liga MX in the US is a Spanish-language product — and while the Spanish-language routes do carry the bulk of it, that framing is now incomplete: CBS Sports Network adds English-language commentary on a slate of 40-plus matches, the fresh correction for 2026.
Here is the verified shape of it. On the Spanish-language side: TUDN, Univision and UniMás (TelevisaUnivision) carry a large share of matches, with ViX as the streaming home; ESPN Deportes and ESPN+ carry another slate; Fox Deportes carries more; and Telemundo, Universo and Peacock (NBCUniversal) carry another set. On the English-language side: Fox's FS1 and FS2 carry some matches in English, and CBS Sports Network now adds 40-plus matches with English commentary. Fubo, the live-TV streaming service, carries most of these channels in one place. The 2026 Liga MX calendar runs in two tournaments — the Clausura in the first half of the year and the Apertura in the second.
The Spanish-language routes: TUDN/Univision/ViX, ESPN, Fox Deportes, Telemundo/Peacock
The bulk of Liga MX in the US is carried across the major Spanish-language broadcasters, split by club and competition. TelevisaUnivision is the biggest piece: TUDN (its Spanish-language sports network), the Univision and UniMás broadcast channels, and ViX, its streaming service, which is the streaming home for a large share of the matches. For a Spanish-speaking household, ViX is often the single most useful route to TelevisaUnivision's Liga MX slate — check current ViX pricing at sign-up.
The rest of the Spanish-language coverage is spread across three more groups. ESPN Deportes (on TV) and ESPN+ (streaming) carry a slate of matches. Fox Deportes carries another set. And NBCUniversal's Telemundo and Universo channels carry matches, with Peacock as their streaming home. Because the rights are divided by club, no single Spanish-language service carries every match — which is exactly why Fubo, which aggregates most of these channels, is such a common choice for US Liga MX fans (covered below). Check current pricing for ViX, ESPN+ and Peacock at sign-up.
The English-language routes: CBS Sports Network (new) and Fox FS1/FS2
This is the fresh correction for 2026: Liga MX in the US is no longer a Spanish-only proposition. CBS Sports Network now carries a slate of 40-plus Liga MX matches with English-language commentary — a genuine English route into the league for fans who do not follow in Spanish, and the development most likely to be missing from an older guide. For an English-speaking US fan who wants to watch Liga MX in their own language, CBS Sports Network is the headline new option.
Alongside it, Fox's FS1 and FS2 channels carry some Liga MX matches in English, a route that has existed alongside Fox Deportes' Spanish coverage. Between CBS Sports Network's 40-plus-match English slate and the Fox FS1/FS2 matches, there is now a real English-language way to follow Liga MX in the US — which is the point worth correcting against the "it's Spanish-only" assumption. Check current pricing for the services carrying CBS Sports Network and FS1/FS2 at sign-up (Fubo carries these channels — see below).
Fubo: most of the channels in one place
Because Liga MX rights in the US are split across so many broadcasters, the practical question for many fans is not "which one channel" but "how do I get most of them at once" — and the common answer is Fubo. Fubo, the live-TV streaming service, carries most of the channels that show Liga MX: the TUDN and Univision family, the ESPN and Fox networks, the English-language channels (FS1, FS2, CBS Sports Network) and more, in a single subscription with one app.
For a US fan who wants to follow Liga MX broadly — across clubs and across both languages — Fubo is the route that avoids juggling several separate subscriptions. It is a paid live-TV streaming package; check Fubo's current US pricing and channel lineup at sign-up, since exactly which Liga MX channels are included can depend on the plan and tier. For breadth of coverage in one place, Fubo is the practical aggregator — with the individual streaming services (ViX, ESPN+, Peacock) as the routes for their specific slates if you prefer to pick à la carte.
Is Liga MX free to watch in the US?
Mostly not — but there are free-to-air moments. Univision and UniMás are over-the-air Spanish-language broadcast channels, so the Liga MX matches they carry can be picked up free with a digital antenna in markets where they broadcast — a genuinely free route to the matches that land on those channels. Telemundo and Universo similarly carry some matches on broadcast television. So a portion of the Liga MX slate is reachable free over the air, depending on which channel a given match lands on.
Beyond those over-the-air matches, the wider slate is paid: the streaming services (ViX, ESPN+, Peacock), the cable networks (TUDN, ESPN Deportes, Fox Deportes, CBS Sports Network, FS1/FS2), and the Fubo aggregation route are all paid. So the honest picture is that some matches are free over the air on the Spanish-language broadcast channels, while comprehensive coverage — across clubs, channels and both languages — requires one or more paid services.
Free highlights and clips also sit on Liga MX's and the clubs' official channels. For live matches, check which channel your match is on: if it is on Univision, UniMás, Telemundo or Universo, an antenna may get it free; otherwise a paid route (or Fubo for breadth) is needed. Check current pricing at sign-up for the paid services.
US kick-off times and the big Liga MX clubs
Mexico's main time zone (Central) is generally aligned closely with US Central Time and one hour behind US Eastern, which makes Liga MX kick-offs land at convenient US hours. Matches are typically played across the weekend evenings and into the week, airing in the evening across the US — prime time on the East Coast and earlier in the evening further west. This is one of the easiest foreign leagues for a US fan to follow live without awkward hours.
The matches that draw the biggest US audiences are the giants — Club América, Chivas de Guadalajara, Cruz Azul, Pumas and Monterrey — and above all El Clásico Nacional (América versus Chivas), one of the most-watched club football matches on US television in any language. These marquee fixtures are spread across the broadcasters by rights, so which service carries a given big match varies. Check Matchcast for the exact US kick-off time of every Liga MX fixture, with the broadcaster listing on each match page so you can see which Spanish- or English-language route carries it.

Can I watch Liga MX in English in the US?
Yes — and this is the fresh correction for 2026. CBS Sports Network now carries a slate of 40-plus Liga MX matches with English-language commentary, and Fox's FS1 and FS2 carry some matches in English too. So Liga MX in the US is no longer a Spanish-only proposition — there is now a genuine English-language way to follow the league.
Is Liga MX free to watch in the US?
In part. Univision, UniMás, Telemundo and Universo are over-the-air broadcast channels, so the Liga MX matches that land on them can be picked up free with a digital antenna in their markets. Beyond those, the wider slate — across the streaming services, cable networks and the Fubo aggregation route — is paid. Which matches are free depends on which channel each one lands on.
What is the easiest way to watch most of Liga MX in the US?
Fubo is the common choice, because it aggregates most of the channels that carry Liga MX — the TUDN/Univision family, the ESPN and Fox networks, and the English-language channels (FS1, FS2, CBS Sports Network) — in one subscription. That avoids juggling several separate services. Exactly which Liga MX channels are included depends on the plan; check the lineup at sign-up.
Where can I watch El Clásico Nacional (América vs Chivas) in the US?
It depends which broadcaster holds the rights to that fixture, since Liga MX's US rights are split by club across several services. El Clásico Nacional is one of the most-watched club football matches on US television, carried in Spanish across the major Spanish-language broadcasters, and potentially in English on CBS Sports Network or Fox.
