Starting February 4, 2025, millions of football fans in Mexico will be able to watch every match of the Concacaf Champions Cup — for free — on Tubi, the ad-supported streaming platform owned by Fox Corporation. No subscription. No credit card. Just live, high-quality matches from the region’s most prestigious club competition, streamed directly to phones, TVs, and tablets. The announcement, made from Miami, where Concacaf is headquartered, marks a seismic shift in how football reaches Mexican audiences — and it’s happening at a time when Tubi’s viewership in the country is exploding.
Why This Matters to Mexican Football Fans
For years, Mexican fans have had to rely on pay-TV channels, unreliable streams, or expensive cable packages to catch their favorite Liga MX teams in continental play. Now, with Tubi’s exclusive deal, every round of the Concacaf Champions Cup — from the opening series to the final whistle — will be available without cost. That’s huge. Especially when you consider that Tubi has seen total viewing time in Mexico surge more than 70% year-over-year since launching in 2020. Fans aren’t just watching movies and telenovelas anymore. They’re tuning in for live football — and in droves.
"Fútbol is more than a sport; it’s a passion that unites millions," Tubi said in its official statement. "We’re committed to delivering that excitement directly to the fans, completely free, so they can enjoy every match without restrictions." And that’s exactly what they’re doing. The Concacaf Champions Cup will stream live on the FOX Deportes en Tubi Channel, with Spanish-language commentary and production tailored for Mexican viewers.
The Tournament Structure and Key Matchups
The 2025 edition features 27 clubs from North America, Central America, and the Caribbean. The format kicks off with 11 two-leg knockout series from February 4 to February 27. Then comes the Round of 16 in March, followed by the Quarterfinals and Semifinals in April — all leading to a single-match final on June 1, 2025 at 6 p.m. PT.
Among the heavyweights? Six Liga MX giants: Club América (seven-time champions), CD Guadalajara, Cruz Azul, Pumas UNAM, CF Monterrey, and Tigres UANL. The rivalry between América and Guadalajara — El Clásico Nacional — will be televised on Tubi on March 5 and again on March 12. That’s two chances for fans to see Mexico’s fiercest derby on free TV.
Other must-watch fixtures include Vancouver Whitecaps vs. Monterrey on March 5 at 10:30 p.m. ET on Tubi, and the final showdown: Cruz Azul vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC on June 1. The winner doesn’t just take home a trophy — they earn a spot in both the FIFA Club World Cup and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup. That’s global prestige. And for Mexican clubs, it’s a chance to shine on the world stage.
How the Broadcast Rights Break Down
This deal is Mexico-specific. Elsewhere, the rights are split. In the United States, matches air on Fox Sports (FS1, FS2) and Tubi, with Spanish coverage on TUDN and ViX. Canada gets it via OneSoccer and FuboTV. Central America and the Caribbean? ESPN. South America? Disney+. The rest of the world can watch on YouTube (@Concacaf) or Concacaf GO.
But in Mexico? It’s Tubi or nothing. And that’s the point. Concacaf isn’t just distributing content — it’s building loyalty. "At Concacaf, we are committed to providing world-class club football to our passionate fans," said Philippe Moggio, the organization’s General Secretary. "This partnership with Tubi will allow us to expand access... ensuring that fans can experience every thrilling moment of their clubs’ journeys."
A Strategic Win for Tubi — and Mexican Viewers
Tubi launched in Mexico in 2020 as a movie and telenovela hub. Now, with football, it’s becoming a cultural hub. The platform’s growth — 70% more viewing time in the last year — shows that Mexican audiences are hungry for free, reliable, high-quality content. And football? It’s the ultimate driver.
Unlike subscription services, Tubi requires no payment. No trials. No auto-renewals. Just download the app on iOS, Android, Roku, or Amazon Fire — and start watching. For families, students, or anyone who’s ever been priced out of premium sports, this is a game-changer.
The timing couldn’t be better. With the 2026 World Cup co-hosted by the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, interest in regional football is peaking. Clubs are investing more. Fans are tuning in louder. And now, for the first time, the entire Concacaf Champions Cup is accessible to every Mexican with a smartphone and Wi-Fi.
What’s Next?
Expect more partnerships like this. Tubi’s success in Mexico could serve as a blueprint for other rights holders looking to reach underserved markets. Will other federations follow Concacaf’s lead? Possibly. Will other streaming platforms try to match Tubi’s free model? Almost certainly.
For now, Mexican fans have something rare: a front-row seat to the continent’s most important club competition — with zero cost. And that’s not just a streaming deal. It’s a win for football.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I watch the Concacaf Champions Cup on Tubi in Mexico?
Simply download the Tubi app on any supported device — iOS, Android, Roku, Amazon Fire, or smart TVs — and navigate to the FOX Deportes en Tubi Channel. No subscription, no payment, no credit card required. All matches are streamed live with Spanish commentary. The platform works on any internet connection, making it accessible even in areas with limited cable infrastructure.
Which Liga MX teams are playing in the 2025 Concacaf Champions Cup?
Six Liga MX clubs are competing: Club América (seven-time champions), CD Guadalajara, Cruz Azul, Pumas UNAM, CF Monterrey, and Tigres UANL. All six are among the most popular teams in Mexico, and their matches — especially the Clásico Nacional between América and Guadalajara — are expected to draw record audiences on Tubi. These teams enter the tournament with direct entry into Round One, skipping preliminary rounds.
Why is Tubi the only option for Mexican viewers?
Concacaf granted Tubi exclusive broadcast rights in Mexico as part of a strategic push to expand digital access in a market with high mobile penetration but limited pay-TV adoption. While other regions use ESPN, Fox Sports, or Disney+, Mexico’s deal is unique — it’s free, ad-supported, and platform-exclusive. This reflects Tubi’s dominance in the region’s streaming market, where it now rivals traditional TV networks in viewership.
What’s the prize for winning the Concacaf Champions Cup?
The champion earns two major berths: one into the FIFA Club World Cup and another into the FIFA Intercontinental Cup. These are the most prestigious club tournaments globally, pitting continental champions against each other. For a Mexican club, this means competing against European giants like Real Madrid or Bayern Munich — a rare opportunity for exposure, revenue, and legacy. No other regional tournament offers this dual qualification.
When does the final take place, and who’s playing?
The final is set for Sunday, June 1, 2025, at 6 p.m. PT. While the exact matchup isn’t known yet, the final will feature the winner of the semifinal between Cruz Azul and Vancouver Whitecaps FC — a potential all-CONCACAF final if both teams advance. The game will be broadcast exclusively on Tubi in Mexico, and fans are already speculating whether a Mexican club will lift the trophy for the first time since 2018.
Is Tubi available outside of Mexico?
Yes, Tubi operates in over 20 countries, including the U.S. and Canada. However, the exclusive Concacaf Champions Cup coverage is only available in Mexico through the FOX Deportes en Tubi Channel. Viewers outside Mexico must use other platforms like Fox Sports, TUDN, OneSoccer, or YouTube (@Concacaf) to watch matches, depending on their region.
