Mexican soccer club C.D. Guadalajara, better known as Chivas, hopes to have several U.S.-based sports networks carry its Liga MX matches beginning next season, a team representative said in a Thursday interview, an arrangement that would mark the club’s return to American television after two seasons without a rights deal.

Rodrigo Morales Abiega, a Mexico City-based vice president at Wasserman Media Group representing Chivas, said the club would like to establish a “mirror of what we have in Mexico,” where three different media companies — Grupo Televisa SAB, TV Azteca SAB de CV and Multimedios Televisión — and team-owned over-the-top platform Chivas TV, carry its home matches. This strategy, Morales Abiega said, has allowed the club to grow the total viewership of its matches in Mexico.

“We want a simulcast with as many outlets as possible,” he said. “This is a possibility that we are currently discussing. If that’s the case, we are totally certain that Chivas viewership will grow in the U.S. as it grew here in Mexico.”

Morales Abiega also stressed the importance of making matches available in both Spanish and English to reach younger generations of Mexican-American fans, as well as soccer fans in the general market.

Though the club would also consider a “high-end” exclusive rights deal, Morales Abiega said it prefers a simulcast arrangement to maximize reach.

But a simulcast deal would be a “difficult” pitch for U.S. media companies, said a U.S. network executive with knowledge of the sports rights landscape, noting the club is unlikely to get the money it is hoping for by dividing its audience across multiple networks or platforms.
