# Fox sports broadcasting transition in Mexico > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/fox-sports-broadcasting-transition-in-mexico > Updated: 2026-08-31T13:35:18.000Z. Sources: 4. Developments: 2. The sports broadcasting landscape in Mexico underwent a significant transition in August 2026 involving Fox-branded content on pay TV platforms. Initially, providers Izzi and Sky announced they would cease carrying the Fox Sports suite—including Fox Sports, Fox Sports 2, Fox Sports 3, and Fox Sports Premium—effective August 30. This removal followed a legal dispute in which Grupo Lauman lost a U.S. court case against Fox Corporation, resulting in a penalty of approximately US$6 million and jeopardizing Lauman’s right to use the Fox Sports brand in Mexico. The loss of these channels impacted the distribution of programming such as AEW and CMLL wrestling. Immediately following the removal of the Grupo Lauman-operated signals, Fox Corporation launched its own distinct channels, FOX and FOX+, on the Izzi and SKY platforms starting August 31. These new channels carry major sports rights, including the NFL, Liga MX, UEFA Champions League, Premier League, Bundesliga, and MLB. ## Claims - FOX and FOX+ channels became available on izzi and SKY pay TV systems in Mexico on August 31, 2026.
