Have you ever found yourself watching a random football game, just to pass the time, and suddenly find yourself completely caught up in the excitement of the fans, the excited commentators and the surprisingly intense football?
That's how I discovered Liga MX, the Mexican soccer championship.
I confess: I never imagined that I would become such a fan of a championship that never misses a single game.
All it took was watching a classic between América and Chivas for me to fall in love with the vibrant style of play, the intense rivalry, and, of course, the emotional coverage of the Mexican broadcasts.
But then the problem arose: how to watch Liga MX games live and without paying? It wasn't that simple, but I'll give you all the details and apps.
I had to do some research, test several apps, and even use some workarounds. But now I can watch everything live, in high quality—and I'll show you exactly how.
Where to watch Liga MX: the apps I tested (and recommend)
After much trial and error, I've come up with a foolproof list of apps and platforms where you can watch Liga MX with quality, stability, and, best of all, legally. Let's see?
ViX (Free and official 100%)
If there is one app that surprised me, it was ViX. It belongs to TelevisaUnivision and broadcasts LIVE games of several Mexican clubs.
Yes, for free. And it's not just a replay, it's a live game with commentary in authentic Spanish—in that way that gives you goosebumps.
- Available Clubs: Chivas, Tigres, Pumas, Toluca, among others.
- Price: free with ads.
- Platforms: Android, iOS, Smart TVs, browser.
Star+ (for those who like ESPN Latina)
Some games of the Liga MX are transmitted in the ESPN Mexico, and here in Brazil the easiest way to access this is with a subscription to Star+.
It's definitely worth it if you enjoy other sports too, like the NFL, NBA, and Libertadores.
- Price: varies in each region.
- Quality: excellent broadcast, with more technical commentary.
TUDN Channel (via YouTube and its own app)
Another fundamental channel for watch Liga MX and the TUDN, which covers almost every game in real time, with highlights, goals, analysis and exclusive interviews.
- Smart tip: TUDN's YouTube channel is updated in real time. If you missed a game, that's where you'll find the best plays in high quality.
Fanatic (the foreign alternative that works in Brazil)
This one is more underground, but worth its weight in gold: the Fanatic is a streaming platform focused on Latin American football.
They offer packages with Liga MX games, including teams with independent broadcast rights, such as Club América.
- Price: plans starting at US$ 7.99.
- Language: Spanish, with subtitle options.
Claro Sports and Azteca Deportes (for those who want everything from Mexico)
These channels are similar to Mexico's Band and Globo. They broadcast occasional Liga MX matches, mostly free-to-air.
You can watch directly on the website or YouTube, depending on the game.

How I organize my week to watch Liga MX
I confess that keeping up the pace isn't easy. Games take place on different days (sometimes Monday, Friday, or Sunday), with slightly different schedules than usual. So here's what I do:
- I use the SofaScore app to follow the game schedule.
- I activate reminders in Google Calendar with direct links to ViX and Star+.
- Download games in apps with replay, when the schedule doesn't help (especially at night during the week).
Why it's worth following Liga MX
If you enjoy grassroots football, strong rivalries, passionate fans and unexpected moments, Liga MX delivers all of this with plenty to spare.
The championship is one of the most competitive in the Americas and has a surprising technical level — for many, on par with European football.
Furthermore, it's a great way to meet new players, observe talents that will soon be in Europe (or even here in Brazil) and expand your football repertoire.
Is it worth playing in Liga MX?
Absolutely. I started out of curiosity, and now I have my favorite teams and even follow behind-the-scenes activities of the clubs on Mexican social media.
If you really like football and want something different from what we see every day here, watch Liga MXAnd with the apps I showed you, it's easy, practical, and accessible.
