⚡ “Necaxa” – A Grit-Fueled Football Revival from FX | Premieres August 7 on FXX & Hulu


Old legends. New energy. One electrifying story.


FX’s latest docuseries “Necaxa” kicks off on August 7, blending star power, historic sports heritage, and underdog resilience in a raw, bilingual portrait of one of Mexico’s most iconic football clubs—Club Necaxa. Produced by and starring Eva Longoria, Rob McElhenney, and Ryan Reynolds, this isn’t just another sports docuseries—it’s a full-on cultural revival.


⚽ What Is Necaxa?


At its heart, Necaxa is about resilience, reinvention, and redemption. Once a dominant force in Mexican football, Club Necaxa is a name that echoes with legacy—but also with years of struggle and uncertainty. The series traces the club’s journey from its origins in Mexico City to its relocation in Aguascalientes, a humble working-class city known as “the land of good people.”

Through tough losses, loyal fans, and determined leadership, the docuseries captures the fight to reignite a fading flame—one passionate match at a time.


🌟 The Powerhouse Team Behind the Scenes


  • Eva Longoria brings cultural authenticity and deep passion to the story. As one of Necaxa’s co-owners, she’s not just producing—she’s invested in the club’s future.

  • Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, the unlikely football saviors behind the Wrexham phenomenon, return to the pitch—not in Wales this time, but in Mexico, where they lend both their storytelling savvy and their owner experience to the project.


Together, this trio infuses Necaxa with the same spirit that turned a struggling Welsh football club into a global phenomenon—only now, they’re doing it en español.


🎥 What to Expect from the Series


  • Behind-the-scenes access to Necaxa’s locker room, boardroom, and training ground.

  • Raw stories of players, coaches, and fans—the real heartbeat of the club.

  • Cultural moments, from food to chants to generational fandom, told through a bilingual lens.

  • Strategic challenges—from marketing and management to building a winning team in a competitive league.


If you loved Welcome to Wrexham, think of Necaxa as its grittier, sun-soaked cousin with a uniquely Mexican flair.


🔌 Why Necaxa?


Founded in 1923, Club Necaxa isn’t just any football team—it’s a century-old institution with deep roots in Mexican football history. But over the years, the club’s prominence dimmed. The move to Aguascalientes marked a turning point, but the road back to glory hasn’t been easy.


What sets Necaxa apart? It’s not just about winning—it’s about community, culture, and pride. It’s about the people of Aguascalientes who show up week after week. It’s about heart over hype.


📺 When & Where to Watch


  • Premiere Date: August 7, 2025

  • Network: FXX

📝 Final Thoughts


Necaxa isn’t just a docuseries—it’s a movement. A love letter to underdogs. A story of rebirth through sweat, sacrifice, and solidarity. With a dream team of Hollywood talent and real-life football grit, this series is poised to do more than document history—it’s here to make it.


So whether you're a die-hard Rayos supporter or new to the club, prepare to be inspired.
