Toluca vs Pumas is available to watch live in the United States on TUDN and ViX, with DirecTV Stream also carrying coverage. The TV channel and live stream options are listed below.

Toluca host Club Universidad Nacional at Estadio Nemesio Diez in Toluca de Lerdo in what shapes up as a compelling Apertura 2026 fixture in Liga MX.

Antonio Mohamed’s side arrive in strong domestic form after beating CD Guadalajara 2-0 on the road last weekend. Toluca also demonstrated their quality on the continental stage this season, claiming a 4-0 win over Los Angeles FC in the CONCACAF Champions Cup.

Pumas, managed by Esteban Solari, head into this match off the back of a 3-0 defeat to Pachuca in their most recent Liga MX outing. It has been a difficult run for the visitors, who have won just one of their last five matches across all competitions.

The contrast in momentum makes this a telling early-season test for Pumas, who sit at the foot of the Apertura standings. Toluca, by contrast, occupy third place and will be eager to press their advantage at home.
