Necaxa Host Tijuana Tonight, Match Available Only on Pay Platforms

A win would bolster Tijuana’s bid for a top‑eight spot in an Apertura that sends only the top eight to the quarterfinals.

Overview

  • The Jornada 16 game kicks off at 19:00 Mexico time on Friday at Estadio Victoria with Necaxa as hosts and Tijuana as visitors.
  • Mexican viewers can watch on FOX One and FOX+ while U.S. coverage is on Fubo, FOX Deportes and FOX One, and no free‑to‑air broadcaster has been announced for Mexico.
  • Standings matter: Necaxa sits 17th with 10 points and is effectively eliminated, while Tijuana is 6th with 22 points and can strengthen its Liguilla chances with a win.
  • Probable lineups published before kick‑off list Necaxa in a 4-1-4-1 under Juan Reynoso and Tijuana in a 5-4-1 under Sebastián Abreu, with standard absences reported for each squad.
  • The match illustrates a broader rights trend this Jornada where some home clubs have exclusivity deals that move games to paid TV and streaming, reducing free access for fans and raising the cost of following late‑season outcomes.
