Fox to air NFL games in Mexico from 2026 season
Fox to air NFL games in Mexico from 2026 season June 8 (Reuters) - Fox FOXA.O will air National Football League games on its platforms in Mexico starting with the 2026 season under a multi-year agreement announced on Monday.
The deal comes as media companies continue betting on live events to boost viewership and drive subscriber growth amid competition from a mature streaming market.
Here are more details:
The deal will give Mexican viewers access to a broad slate of games each year, including Thursday Night Football, the Sunday regular-season games, and Thanksgiving Day matchups.
The agreement also covers all playoff games from the NFC, one of the NFL's two conferences, along with the annual Pro Bowl Games and the Super Bowl - the league's championship game.
Fox will distribute content across its linear TV channels FOX and FOX+, its FOX One streaming service, and select programming on FOX on Tubi, a free streaming platform.
Beyond live games, Fox will air four weekly original NFL programs for Mexican audiences, including two weekly editions of a fantasy football-focused show.
