For the 2026 Clausura “Clásico Nacional” (América vs Chivas), U.S. viewers can watch through Spanish-language TV and official Liga MX streaming partners, mainly Telemundo/Universo on TV and Peacock or ViX for streaming, depending on the specific rights for that matchday.

Key ways to watch in 2026

  • Spanish-language TV in the U.S.: Recent América–Chivas games in early 2025–2026 have aired on Telemundo and Universo for U.S. audiences when Chivas are at home, with full pregame and postgame coverage.
  • Official streaming (U.S.):
    • Peacock has carried live streams of Chivas vs América along with Telemundo/Universo broadcasts.
* ViX (TelevisaUnivision’s platform) and DirecTV Stream have been used for other recent Liga MX América–Chivas clashes, especially when América are designated home side or Televisa networks have rights.
  • Matchday‑specific listings: Dedicated hubs like World Soccer Talk and Sports Illustrated are already publishing “how to watch in USA” guides specifically for the 2026 Clausura América–Chivas matchday, listing all current TV channels and streaming options for that exact date.

Practical steps

  • On the week of the game, search TV listings for “Chivas vs Club América” or “Clásico Nacional” on Telemundo, Universo, and Univision family channels. These networks frequently share or rotate rights for this rivalry.
  • Check the latest “how to watch” pages on major soccer sites (Goal, World Soccer Talk, sports sections of NBC or SI) for the 2026 Clausura fixture, since they update kickoff time, TV, and live‑stream links as schedules are finalized.
  • If you’re outside the U.S., you may need your local Liga MX rights holder (often a regional sports network) or a legal streaming service plus a VPN, as commonly suggested for international viewers.

Quick viewing tips

  • Confirm kickoff time and stadium (Estadio Azteca or Estadio Akron) in the days before the match; both clubs and Liga MX sites keep updated schedules.
  • Test your internet connection and app login (Peacock, ViX, cable/OTT provider) earlier that day to avoid last‑minute issues, as recommended in general Chivas–América viewing guides.
