Where to Watch Necaxa vs Cruz Azul
In the United States, the match airs on FOX Deportes. FOX announced in late September that FOX Deportes had secured exclusive rights to Necaxa home matches for both the men’s and women’s teams, per trade-press reporting of the network’s announcement, and U.S. television listings carry this fixture on FOX Deportes at 11:10 PM ET.
FOX One streams the full FOX Deportes schedule, including through Prime Video, and Fubo also carries FOX Deportes. TelevisaUnivision’s programming release for this window lists only the Friday, October 2 doubleheader on TUDN and ViX, so this match has no announced ViX coverage.
Why This Match Matters
Necaxa owns the league’s worst start: nine matches, nine defeats, zero points, last in Group B with 33 goals conceded. Saturday is another chance to stop the slide at home, and scoring first would be a milestone for a side with one goal in its last five outings.
Cruz Azul carries the opposite pressure. La Maquina sits seventh in Group A on 12 points after back-to-back defeats, and the Liguilla race is tightening. The 3-2 comeback over Pumas UNAM on September 11 showed what this attack can do when it clicks, but two scoreless losses since have raised questions. A late-night trip to Aguascalientes is the kind of fixture a playoff hopeful cannot drop.
Recent Form
All results from Liga MX Femenil, Apertura 2026, most recent first.
Necaxa has lost nine straight to open the tournament. The last five: a 0-4 home defeat to Toluca on September 28, a 0-10 loss at Monterrey on September 19, a 0-1 defeat at FC Juarez on September 12, a 0-2 home loss to Atletico San Luis on September 5, and a 1-4 defeat at Puebla on August 30. One goal scored across those five matches tells the story of a team struggling at both ends.
Cruz Azul has 12 points from nine matches (four wins, five losses) and sits seventh in Group A. The last five: a 0-1 home loss to Chivas Guadalajara on September 25, a 0-2 defeat at Santos Laguna on September 21, a 3-2 home win over Pumas UNAM on September 11, a 2-0 win at Queretaro on September 6, and a 0-1 loss at FC Juarez on August 30. The Pumas comeback, sealed by Uchenna Kanu’s late brace, remains the high point of the campaign.
Team News
Cruz Azul’s attack runs through Uchenna Kanu, whose 75th and 79th minute goals turned the Pumas match around. The club also added Spanish defender Alicia De la Cuerda from Real Madrid B in September, per Bolavip, to reinforce a back line that has conceded in each of the last two matches.
For Necaxa, goalkeeper Adriana Meza has been under constant pressure, conceding four second-half goals to Toluca alone. With zero points on the board, the Centellas need a response from the whole squad, and the home crowd at the Victoria could provide the lift.
Head-To-Head
Across 12 previous meetings recorded by Zerozero, Cruz Azul holds the edge with five wins to Necaxa’s four, plus three draws. La Maquina won the most recent encounter 3-0.
What to Watch
First, whether Necaxa can score: one goal in five matches is a crisis, and an early goal would change the night at the Victoria. Second, whether Cruz Azul’s attack wakes up after two straight scoreless defeats. Third, the goalkeeping battle: Meza will be busy again, and Cruz Azul needs a steadier night at the back than it managed against Santos and Chivas.
Prediction
Prediction: Cruz Azul 2-0 Necaxa. The visitors have the form, the firepower and the motivation of the Liguilla race, while Necaxa’s attack has produced one goal in five matches.
