How to watch today’s Tijuana vs Necaxa Liga MX game: Live stream, TV channel, and start time
How to watch the Liga MX match between Tijuana and Necaxa, as well as kick-off time and team news.
Club Tijuana welcome Necaxa to Estadio Caliente on Sunday night as the Liga MX Apertura rolls on.
The hosts come into the clash with a spring in their step and the backing of a lively home crowd that has already witnessed its share of drama this season. Tijuana have proven a tough nut to crack, collecting nine points from six matches thanks to two victories and three draws, a run that has them sitting 8th in the standings. Their recent outings showcase both resilience and firepower — a thrilling 3-3 stalemate with Guadalajara and a clinical 2-0 triumph at Pachuca underline their ability to score freely and grind out results against quality opponents.
Necaxa, meanwhile, arrive with far less cheer, still searching for stability in a campaign that has them down in 14th with just five points on the board. Their road form, in particular, leaves plenty to be desired: seven goals shipped and only two scored away from home. Last weekend’s humbling 3-0 defeat at Monterrey highlighted those frailties, despite Agustín Palavecino earning plaudits as their standout performer. That setback laid bare their defensive vulnerability, and they’ll need a much sturdier showing to avoid being overrun in Tijuana.

Injuries and Suspended players
Tijuana team news
Tijuana are expected to set the tempo by pushing higher up the pitch, aiming to take advantage of Necaxa’s shaky form on the road and punishing them in quick transitions, particularly after set-piece situations or costly giveaways.
On the team news front, Tijuana remain without the services of Unai Bilbao, who is sidelined with a knock.
Necaxa team news
The visitors, on the other hand, will likely try to steady themselves and rely on swift counter-attacks or flashes of individual brilliance, something they’ve managed in spurts this season. With both sides accustomed to sharing the spoils and regularly finding the net in recent outings, the matchup has the makings of an end-to-end affair — though the edge appears to tilt toward the hosts at Estadio Caliente.
Necaxa will have to make do without Cristian Calderón, currently nursing a groin problem.
