Fox Corporation has secured a multi-year agreement with the NFL that delivers a complete package of live games and original programming to fans across Mexico beginning this fall. The deal marks a significant expansion of American football coverage in a country where passion for the sport continues to build.
Walk into any sports bar in Mexico City or Monterrey on a Thursday night once the season kicks off, and the difference will be immediate. More games. More analysis. More ways to stay connected from September through February.
What Games Mexican Audiences Will See on Fox
The agreement gives Fox the rights to carry a robust slate of NFL action every season. Fans will have access to:
- Thursday Night Football
- Regular-season Sunday games each week
- Thanksgiving Day matchups
- All NFC playoff games
- The NFL Pro Bowl Games
- The Super Bowl
That is a full-season commitment, not a limited window. Mexican viewers will follow storylines from training camp through the playoffs without piecing together streams from multiple sources.
Where and How Fans Can Watch
Fox is making the content available across its full ecosystem in Mexico. Linear television on FOX and FOX+ will carry the games, while streaming options include Fox One and select programming on the ad-supported Fox service on Tubi. The multi-platform approach removes barriers for fans who prefer the big screen at home or mobile viewing on the go.
Original Programming Built Specifically for Mexican Fans
Beyond the live action, Fox will produce four weekly original NFL shows developed with Mexican audiences in mind. Two of those programs each week will focus on fantasy football, giving local fans dedicated analysis, player debates, and entertainment formats that extend the conversation past game day.
These shows aim to blend expert breakdowns with cultural relevance — the kind of content that turns casual viewers into dedicated followers and fuels group chats, watch parties, and office pools across the country.
“Mexico is a market with an enormous passion for football, and we are proud to offer fans a sizeable NFL package in the country, with a robust content experience, designed to engage audiences throughout the entire year.”
— Carlos Martínez, Executive Vice President, Fox Latin America
“We are excited to strengthen our relationship with FOX and expand access to NFL content for fans in Mexico. The passion for football continues to grow in the country, and this alliance will enable us to connect with audiences through broad coverage, original content and a compelling season-long experience.”
— Arturo Olive, NFL Mexico Director General
Why This Deal Lands at the Right Moment
Fox’s move builds directly on its 2025 acquisition of Caliente TV, which strengthened its sports distribution footprint in Mexico. The new NFL rights sit on top of that infrastructure, giving the network a stronger platform to compete for attention in a market long dominated by soccer.
The timing also reflects the league’s broader international push. Mexico City has hosted regular-season games in the past, and interest remains high among fans who treat the NFL as serious entertainment rather than a niche import. Year-round original programming helps convert that interest into habit.
Industry observers have noted that this kind of deal-making comes as the NFL weighs its leverage in upcoming media rights discussions. The league has seen strong demand and rising fees in other negotiations, and Mexico represents another territory where consistent, high-quality coverage can drive both viewership and long-term growth.

What It Means for Fans on the Ground
For the supporters who already wake up early or stay up late to follow their teams, this removes friction. A full Thursday Night Football package on a major local platform means fewer workarounds and more shared moments — families gathered around the TV, friends debating fantasy lineups, or entire neighborhoods reacting to a last-second score.
The dedicated fantasy shows could prove especially popular. Fantasy football has a dedicated following in Mexico, and having two editions per week tailored locally gives fans content that speaks their language, both literally and culturally.
This is not just more football on television. It is infrastructure for a growing fanbase that now has a clearer, more consistent home for the sport they love.
