Many fans remain uncertain about where the pledges of the Sacred Flock, Foxes, Celestes, Felines and Diablos will be broadcast.
In Mexican football, private broadcasts have gained traction in recent years. Season after season, more teams in the MX league bet on this model, ensuring that some matches do not reach the entire population.
One of the early adopters was Izzy of Tigres, a standout case in Mexican football. He consistently fills his stadium, sometimes selling out before the semester begins. A key factor is the loyalty of the fan base, along with the fact that many of their games are not aired on traditional outdoor television stations.
As box office revenue remained constrained during the pandemic, several teams in the top flight were compelled to explore alternatives. Chivas and Atlas emerged from the Guardians 2021 tournament with a renewed strategy.
Here is what fans need to know about this landscape:
