You don’t have to be a supporter of Mexican soccer team “Nexaca” to feel involved. As Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds – part-time Hollywood actors/ full-time struggling soccer club angel investors – have already proved with “Welcome to Wrexham”. And here they are again. This time with Eva “La Patrona” Longoria…
Here’s where to watch “Necaxa” online and from anywhere with a VPN.
‘Necaxa’ – Streaming details
“Necaxa” premieres with a two episode drop in the U.S. on FXX on Thursday, August 7 at 9 p.m. ET/PT and will be available on Hulu and Disney+ the next day. It will also available on Disney+ internationally on Friday, August 8.

All three are exec producers on the “Welcome to Wrexham” spin-off (as well as investors) and are hoping that the injection of some Hollywood glamour and extra press attention can have the same transformational effect on Mexican Liga MX soccer team Necaxa as it had on the little Welsh club.
The reality TV behind the scenes format works for sport, and particularly football, as there is week-to-week jeopardy played out on the pitch that the millionaire Hollywood co-owners are unable to affect in the moment. They just have to sit and watch with he rest of us.
There is also, of course, and a fantastic cast of competitive sportsmen and busy administrators to watch in various states of ecstasy and despair while a vast army of passionate supporters fill the Estadio Vitoria in the working class city of Aguascalientes.

Watch ‘Necaxa’ from anywhere
Away from the U.S. at the moment and blocked from watching “Necaxa” on your usual service?
You can still watch episodes from anywhere thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where you are in the world. So it’s ideal for viewers currently traveling outside of their home country. Our favourite is NordVPN. It’s the best on the market:
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we’ve said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you’re in the U.K. and want to view a U.S. service, you’d select U.S. from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy “Necaxa”
