Exclusive Mexican Soccer Events on Livestream

Written by Jennifer Levine at 4:39 pm under Channels, In The News, Sports. No Comments

The live broadcast of two Mexican soccer events last week drew thousands of viewers to Livestream. The first, the inauguration of the new Omnilife Stadium for the Chivas club, included pre-game festivities and celebrations of the brand new arena. The second, an entire match in which Rayados del Monterrey battled Estudiantes Tecos, garnered 47,000 concurrent viewers and over 150,000 unique visitors.

Oddly enough, not many Mexican broadcast television networks were carrying the events, so the clubs decided to broadcast the events online directly to the fans. It’s an interesting example of how sports clubs can use live streaming as leverage against the broadcasters who control what match/event they choose to broadcast to their fans.

In addition, the Rayados game story made the front page of a leading Mexican newspaper which included photos of fans watching the game on their laptop in this ‘historic first of a game being available live online’. They also mentioned that bars were unusually empty as fans could watch it at home on their laptop for free.

To watch the stream, click the players below, or visit the Chivas or Rayados pages to learn more.
