However, no details regarding the platform have been disclosed. It is also unknown if Chivas TV will be complemented with broadcasts on pay TV channels. “What’s coming is going to be spectacular for fans,” reported Vergara. In the institution, they expressed that this will be a way for those who love the team to be closer to it. Currently, Chivas -one of the most popular teams in the US and Mexico- already has an official application for IOS, Android and Windows, in which it is possible to see their calendar of activities, results, news, statistics and exclusive promotions.
