It has inked a four-year deal for the <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/tag\/concacaf\/\" id=\"auto-tag_concacaf\" data-tag=\"concacaf\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Concacaf<\/a> Nations League Finals and the Concacaf Gold Cup tournaments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tThese are the flagship events organized by the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football, better known as Concacaf. The competitions see national teams face off.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tSoccer is massively popular in Mexico and the country\u2019s national team are the current Nations League champions, having beaten Panama in the final last year in a match hosted at SoFi Stadium in California.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tMexico, which is a host country for this year\u2019s World Cup, is also the reigning Concacaf Gold Cup winner. That tournament is for national teams from North America.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tThe Netflix deal kicks in next year and runs for four years, meaning it will be the exclusive home in Mexico for the 2027 and 2029 editions of both competitions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tThe fifth edition of the Concacaf Nations League Finals is scheduled for March 2027 with matches taking place at SoFi Stadium. The 19th edition of the Concacaf Gold Cup, meanwhile, will be played next summer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t\u201cWe are very excited to partner with Netflix in Mexico as we continue to strengthen how fans connect with our premier national team competitions,\u201d said Philippe Moggio, Concacaf General Secretary. \u201cWe know that in Mexico, the passion for football is truly unique, and this agreement allows us to bring these competitions closer to millions of fans through a new platform. It also reflects our commitment to delivering high-quality access to tournaments that mean so much to our region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tNetflix Latin America is working on a host of soccer-related projects ahead of the World Cup. As well as several docs it has Mexico 86, a Diego Luna movie about how the country landed hosting rights to the titular edition of the tournament.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t\u201cAt Netflix, we are increasingly investing in live events that connect with our audience\u2019s greatest passions, and football is, without a doubt, the passion that unites us as Mexicans,\u201d said Carolina Leconte, Vice President of Content for Mexico and Latin America Acquisitions at Netflix.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t\u201cConcacaf national team matches bring together millions of fans in Mexico like few other events can. We are thrilled that, over the coming years, fans in Mexico will be able to experience the Concacaf Nations League Finals and the Concacaf Gold Cup exclusively on Netflix, with no additional fees.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Netflix\u2019s move into sports continues, this time with the streamer netting national soccer rights for Mexico.
