The Liga MX Femenil is set to kick off its Clausura 2025 season with exciting new options for viewers, as the league launches its innovative campaign 'FutFem donde sea.' Starting on January 3, 2025, this initiative aims to significantly expand the availability of women's football matches, allowing fans to watch games for free via social media platforms such as TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook.
The new season begins with much anticipation, with the opening match featuring Atlas facing off against Santos at the Estadio Jalisco. But the spotlight will soon shift to the reigning champions, the Rayadas, who will begin their title defense on January 5 against Mazatlán.
According to Liga MX Femenil, the 'FutFem donde sea' campaign intends to encourage accessibility and reach more fans than ever before. “With this initiative, we seek to bring Mexican women's football closer to more people, broadening the options to enjoy the matches and strengthening the connection between fans, players and clubs,” stated the league. This marks a significant shift; not only are fans able to watch their favorite teams on conventional television, but now they can also follow the games through popular social media channels.
This season, fans can expect to see local games from six clubs included under the new streaming initiative: América, Rayadas, Pumas, Cruz Azul, Toluca, and Necaxa. Specifically, it begins with the highly anticipated match between Pumas and Atlético San Luis on January 4 at noon, which fans can access live through the league's channels. Following this, the first matchday will see several exciting fixtures scheduled, including Necaxa hosting Chivas later the same day.
While the introduction of social media viewing options is revolutionary, Liga MX Femenil reassures fans the traditional televised matches will remain unaffected. More than 100 matches will still air on networks such as Vix, Fox Sports, ESPN, and Telemundo, ensuring all fans have various ways to engage with the sport.
Rayadas, who have enjoyed remarkable success by securing back-to-back championships, are expected to be fierce contenders this season as they aim for their third consecutive title. The league's competitive nature means they will face fierce challenges from notable rivals like América, Chivas, and Tigres, all eager to dethrone the current champions.
Fans are buzzing about the upcoming season, and with the first weekend featuring several thrilling matches, the excitement is palpable. On January 6, Liga MX Femenil will continue its opening weekend with five more games scheduled, including the highly-anticipated clash between América and Cruz Azul.
With this forward-thinking approach to viewership and the league's commitment to fostering women's football, there’s no doubt the Clausura 2025 season will be one for the books. The hybrid model of viewing on both social media and traditional platforms reflects the growing interest and recognition of women’s sports, making it easier for fans to engage from wherever they are.
This transformative initiative could potentially revolutionize how fans consume women’s football, paving the way for greater visibility and accessibility to the sport. The combination of strategic scheduling and innovative broadcasting methods, along with insightful commentary and analysis from experienced broadcasters, promises to deliver thrilling viewing experiences for all supporters of Liga MX Femenil.
With all eyes turning to the pitch, it becomes clear: the future of women’s football is bright, and the Liga MX Femenil is ready to shine as it embarks on this new season. Fans eagerly await to witness the stories, skills, and surprises the Clausura 2025 has yet to reveal.
