Toluca vs Tijuana is available to watch live in the United States on ViX. Live stream options are listed below.
Toluca host Tijuana at the Estadio Nemesio Diez in Toluca de Lerdo in an Apertura 2026 Liga MX fixture, with the two sides sitting in contrasting positions in the table as the tournament reaches its decisive stretch.
Antonio Mohamed's Toluca come into this match third in the Apertura standings, making them one of the division's stronger outfits this season. Their recent run has been inconsistent, however, with back-to-back defeats raising questions ahead of this home fixture.
Tijuana arrive under Sebastian Abreu sitting tenth, and Los Xolos will need to pick up points if they are to maintain a foothold in the playoff places. Their recent form has been mixed, and a run without a win in their last four league outings will concern Abreu heading into this trip.
The head-to-head record favours Toluca, who have won four of the last five meetings between the sides. Tijuana will need to produce something out of the ordinary to reverse that trend on the road.
For US-based fans looking to follow the action, TV channel and live stream details are listed below.
