TV Azteca leads TV ratings for Mexico vs Ecuador match
In the battle between Mexico's top broadcasters, TV Azteca surpassed Televisa in traditional television ratings during the Mexico vs Ecuador clash.
The match between the Mexico national team and Ecuador at the 2026 World Cup served as a high-stakes battleground not only on the pitch but also between the country's two largest television networks, Televisa and TV Azteca.
While Televisa secured a higher total audience when including their streaming platform ViX—reaching 35.3 million viewers—TV Azteca remained the preferred choice for audiences watching via traditional open-signal television. In this direct broadcast comparison, TV Azteca drew 10.12 million viewers, surpassing Televisa's 9.13 million.
This tournament has been characterized by a remarkably tight race for viewership. Since the opening game against South Africa, the gap between the two broadcasters has remained minimal across all matches.
The audience continues to favor the broadcast team of Martinoli, Luis García, and Jorge Campos when watching on open television, maintaining TV Azteca's strong position in the Mexican media landscape during international fixtures.
