Full disclosure: we sell Vivimate, an IPTV subscription, so we appear among the options here and can't referee them. There's no ranking on this page and it reports no measurements of our own. Mexican prices come from the providers' own sites and app listings, read on November 8, 2026; the US listing for ViX was read on November 10, 2026. Since most of our readers live in the US and Canada, one section covers watching Mexican TV from there.
Price the whole year, not the first month
Mexican pay TV is often sold with an introductory price, so the figure on the banner isn't the one you'll pay for long. Sky México's site listed a basic Sky+ plan with 30 Mbps internet at MX$499 a month for six months, if you pay by card direct debit, then MX$599.
Over a year that difference adds up to MX$600, and the second year costs the full MX$7,188. A higher tier with 500 Mbps internet was listed at MX$1,029 a month once its own six months ended. We couldn't add izzi or Totalplay, whose sites refused our reader, and sky.com.mx itself failed a security check when we tried to re-read it on November 10, 2026, so confirm the current offer there.
Satellite and cable packages
A package is the familiar setup: a receiver, a channel lineup and a guide, often with home internet on the same bill. Its advantage is that the company holds the rights to what it shows, and one bill is simple to manage. The catches are on the contract page rather than the banner: the price after the promotion, payment conditions such as direct debit, installation, and what leaving early costs. Cable and fibre offers also depend on your address, so enter it on each provider's site.
Free TV and the ViX app
Mexico's open networks cost nothing over an antenna. Televisa's site lists the programming of Las Estrellas and Canal 5, home to the evening telenovelas many households plan around. Reception depends on where you live and on the antenna you use.
ViX is the streaming app of the same media group, sold on the App Store by Univision Communications Inc. Its Mexican listing says the free content needs no credit card and no sign-up; paid plans start at MX$149 a month in the app, with quarterly and annual choices, and take the ads away. The limit is scope: one app covers one group's programming, so a household that follows several networks may end up stacking apps.
Liga MX: look up the match before you pay
Football drives a lot of Mexican TV spending, and rights can be split between broadcasters. ViX's listing names Liga MX and Liga MX Femenil among its competitions without saying which matches it shows. The league's own site didn't load for us, so we can't reproduce its broadcast table or say which network has which club. Check who shows your club's next fixture on the broadcasters' pages first.
Watching Mexican TV from the US or Canada
For Mexicans living north of the border, the broadcaster group's own international route is the place to start, and we don't suggest workarounds for any broadcaster's location rules. ViX has a US App Store listing from the same seller. On November 10, 2026 it described free viewing with no card and no registration, listed in-app options including $6.99 a month with ads, $10.99 a month and $84.99 a year, and named Liga MX and Liga MX Femenil among its sports.
We didn't read a Canadian listing, so if you're in Canada, check the ViX app in your own store before counting on it.
Independent IPTV sellers and the rights question
An IPTV seller gives you a login for a player app on your TV, stick or phone, usually with a long channel list priced in US dollars. IPTV is a delivery technology and legal in itself; what decides whether a seller is lawful is the rights it holds for what it streams. We tried to read Mexico's Federal Copyright Law on the Chamber of Deputies' site, but it didn't load, so we quote none of it here. Our page on whether IPTV is legal sets out what to ask any seller.
- Search during the trial. Look up each channel at the hour it airs, regional ones included.
- Watch the time zones. A 9 PM telenovela in Mexico City airs at 10 PM Eastern and 7 PM Pacific in winter, an hour later in summer; check the guide shows it right.
- Check your speed. This site works to 10 Mbps for HD, 15 Mbps for Full HD and 25 Mbps for 4K per stream; see the internet speed guide.
- Start with a short plan. A month shows more than a trial and risks far less than a year.
The checks before paying for an IPTV service cover the rest.

Where Vivimate fits, and who should skip it
Vivimate is a prepaid IPTV subscription in US dollars, with no contract and no automatic renewal. We don't publish the rights agreements behind our channels, and we don't promise any Mexican network, league or match on this page. The 24-hour free trial needs no card and is the place to search for what you watch.
| Plan | One device | Two devices | Per month, one device |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Month | $19.99 | $31.98 | $19.99/mo |
| 3 Months | $29.99 | $47.98 | $10.00/mo |
| 6 Months | $39.99 | $63.98 | $6.67/mo |
| 12 Months + 2 FREE | $69.99 | $111.98 | $5.00/mo |
A first purchase has a 7-day refund window when a service problem you report can't be fixed; see the refund policy and the plans page. A card in pesos converts the price and may add a fee.
Skip us if you want a seller with rights on record or every match of your club from a known broadcaster. A pay TV package or ViX will serve you better.
Frequently asked questions
Which IPTV service is best in Mexico?
No honest answer names one without testing services side by side, and this page reports no measurements of our own. We sell Vivimate too, so our verdict wouldn't be neutral. Decide which kind of TV you need, then put the one you shortlist through a free trial at the hours you watch.
How much does Sky México cost for a year?
Sky's site listed its basic Sky+ plan with 30 Mbps internet at MX$499 a month for six months when paying by card direct debit, then MX$599. That makes MX$6,588 for the first twelve months and MX$7,188 for a year at the list price.
Is ViX free?
It has a free tier. Both the Mexican and US App Store listings say the free content needs no credit card and no registration. Paid plans remove ads: from MX$149 a month in Mexico, and in the US from $6.99 a month with ads or $10.99 without.
Where can I watch Liga MX?
ViX's own App Store listings in Mexico and the US name Liga MX and Liga MX Femenil among their competitions, without saying which matches. Check who shows your club's match this tournament on the broadcasters' own pages before you pay.
Does Vivimate carry Mexican channels?
We don't promise any Mexican network, league or match. Use the 24-hour free trial to search the guide for each channel you watch, at the time it's on air.
