How to Watch Pumas UNAM vs Cruz Azul in the USA
The straightforward answer: turn on TUDN at 9:10 PM ET, or stream the match on ViX. TUDN carries the full broadcast in Spanish, and ViX carries the stream for subscribers.
What makes this match different from Saturday’s Liga MX slate is what is missing. Both of Saturday’s late games, Atlas vs Chivas de Guadalajara and Club America vs Monterrey, aired on Univision as well as TUDN. This one is TUDN only on linear television. There is no Univision simulcast, which changes the viewing math considerably, as explained below.

Why This Match Is Not Free to Watch
Some Liga MX matches can be watched free with a digital antenna because they air on Univision, which is a free over-the-air broadcast network in the United States. That does not apply here.
TUDN is a pay cable channel, not an over-the-air network. Watching it the traditional way requires a cable, satellite, or live TV streaming package that includes TUDN. There is no antenna option and no free stream for this match. On the streaming side, ViX requires a ViX Premium subscription for Liga MX matches like this one. The bottom line for tonight: every confirmed viewing path for Pumas UNAM vs Cruz Azul requires a paid subscription of some kind.
Where to Find TUDN
TUDN being a cable channel does not mean it is hard to find. It is widely carried on traditional cable and satellite packages across the United States, so many viewers already have it as part of their existing TV subscription.
Cord-cutters have options too. YouTube TV carries TUDN in its Base Plan and its Spanish Plan, and DirecTV Stream carries TUDN on its Ultimate and Premier tiers. If you subscribe to either service at a qualifying tier, tonight’s match is included at no additional cost.
Why Pumas UNAM vs Cruz Azul Is Not on Fubo
Fubo does not carry TUDN. It also does not carry Univision or UniMás. The Liga MX matches available on Fubo are the ones on Telemundo, Universo, and FOX Deportes, which is why Friday’s Tigres UANL vs Toluca and Saturday’s FC Juarez vs Xolos Tijuana were Fubo options and this one is not. Since tonight’s match is a TUDN exclusive on U.S. television, Fubo subscribers will not find it there.
Every Confirmed Streaming Option
