ViX+ lands in Mexico with a fresh lineup and new programming, signaling a notable shift in how fans access live sports.
The wait is over for many viewers. After weeks of promotion and the merger that formed ViX+, the streaming service from the media giant pairing Televisa and Univisión aims to diversify sports coverage and deliver a broad range of live events to fans. The service promises a robust slate that enhances the sports ecosystem for both countries and beyond. ViX+ is positioned as the premium side of the ViX brand, expanding options for fans who crave more than standard broadcasts.
To keep readers informed, here are the essential details about this service.
WHAT IS VIX+
ViX+ represents the sports and live programming arm born from the Televisa and Univisión merger. It expands on ViX by offering a deeper roster of sports events and extensive coverage of events for which rights are held. The platform blends live action with curated programming and aims to become a central destination for fans looking to follow leagues and competitions with broad regional reach.
PRIME VIDEO + VIX = WORLDWIDE ACCESS
An alternative way to enjoy ViX and ViX+ content, including World Cup events, is through Prime Video. Amazon’s streaming service provides live access to World Cup matches, allowing fans to tune in from many devices. Subscribing to Amazon Prime Video includes a free first month, and from the second month the price rises to 99 Mexican pesos for users in eligible regions.
The pairing with Prime Video is presented as a convenient option for those who want to combine streaming choices with other Prime benefits. This approach has been noted by industry observers as a strategic method to reach a wider audience across North America.
HOW MUCH DOES VIX COST
ViX+ introduces a pricing model that initially does not charge a separate fee for its first version; the service is monetized through advertisements shown during events and programming. This ad-supported approach is designed to make the platform accessible while still delivering a high volume of live sports and exclusive content.
WHEN IS THE LAUNCH?
The platform officially launched on Thursday, March 31 in Mexico, the United States, and multiple countries across the Americas, including Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Puerto Rico, Ecuador, and several others in the region. The rollout reflects ViX+’s strategy to establish a broad, cross-border presence that aligns with the company’s media footprint in North America and Latin America.
WHAT CONTENT DOES IT OFFER?
ViX+ is set to deliver more than 170 matches per year, with 68 of those contests designated as exclusive. The service will carry all Liga MX Femenil matches and Liga de Expansión games exclusively, while also offering three non-traditional programs that broaden coverage for audiences in both Mexico and the United States.
- TUDN Picks: A sports betting show that aggregates global insights for fans who follow matches and leagues worldwide
- Tiro Libre: A conversational show that invites viewers to chat with friends about sports topics
- TUDN News: Fast-paced highlights and developments from the sports world presented in a lively way
HOW TO DOWNLOAD?
ViX+ can be accessed for free through its website. On Android devices, users should open the Google Play Store, search for ViX, tap the install button, and begin watching. On iOS devices, the App Store provides ViX by searching for the app, downloading, and opening it. The service is designed to be easy to access on multiple platforms for North American viewers.
Notes for readers and fans familiar with the market: ViX+ emphasizes live sports coverage and exclusive rights in partnerships with regional networks, reflecting a broader shift toward streaming-first distribution in the region.
