Fox Sports has added the English-language rights to 25 games involving Mexico’s national team to its arsenal of soccer properties.

Through an agreement that will be announced Wednesday, Fox Sports 1 will televise 25 home games — friendlies and World Cup qualifiers — of the team called El Tri starting this year and continuing until the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Not all the home games will be played in Mexico, however; as part of an agreement with Major League Soccer’s marketing arm, Mexico has in recent years played an increasing number of its games in United States cities like Dallas and Los Angeles.

The first game of the new Fox partnership will be a friendly on Feb. 10 against Senegal at Marlins Park in Miami. Two of Mexico’s World Cup qualifiers this year, against Canada and Honduras, also are part of the new deal.

Fox acquired the games from Univision Deportes for an undisclosed sum.

For Fox, the contract represents another way to reach Mexican-born and second- and third-generation Mexican-Americans who follow the national team. Since Fox already owns the rights to several other important events featuring Mexico, the deal effectively makes Fox the English-language home of the team for the foreseeable future.
