Through this deal, FOX Sports has secured CONCACAF Champions League’s exclusive broadcasting rights across all platforms for Mexico and South America, as well as pay-TV and digital rights in Central America for the two CONCACAF club tournaments (the annual Champions League and the club championship among Central American and Caribbean teams).

“The extension of our relationship with FOX Sports Latin America is clear evidence that the most important club competition of our region is continuing to grow in popularity and prestige,” said Victor Montagliani, president, CONCACAF.

"This renewal allows us to continue offering our fans throughout Latin America, the official CONCACAF's club championship for five more years, and reinforces our commitment to continue being the number one sports channel network,” said Carlos Martínez, president of FOX Networks Group Latin America.

Sixteen clubs from countries including Canada, Mexico, the US, Central America and the Caribbean will compete in the CONCACAF Champions League, to be played between February and May. Furthermore, beginning August 2017, 16 Central American and Caribbean clubs will participate in a new annual tournament.
