Welcome to Wrexham spinoff Necaxa, featuring Eva Longoria, who is part of the club’s ownership group, has its premiere date.
Abigail Lee of Variety reported on Tuesday that Necaxa “is set to premiere on FXX Aug. 7 at 9 p.m. ET.”
FX’s website describes some of what the series, which was announced in July 2024, will feature.
“In FX and Disney+ Latin America’s Necaxa, Eva Longoria sets out to reignite the soul of one of Mexico’s oldest and most storied football clubs, Club Necaxa — enlisting the help of fellow owners Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds, fresh off their headline-making revival of Wrexham AFC,” it said.
“Necaxa is a gripping bilingual docuseries chronicling a turbulent, transformational time marked by staff shake-ups, career-defining injuries and the relentless grit of a football team determined to defy expectations and deliver hope to its city of Aguascalientes, Mexico,” the FX synopsis added. “Once a powerhouse in Mexican football, Club Necaxa has spent decades navigating instability including relocations, relegation battles and near-constant reinvention. Though its legacy has flickered in and out of the national spotlight, a passionate core of diehard supporters continues to believe, clinging to the dream that their beloved ‘Rayos’ will one day rise again.”
Lee also detailed how Necaxa viewers will be able to watch the show.
“During the first three weeks of its run, viewers can expect two episodes every Thursday. Afterwards, one episode will drop each Thursday. The episodes can be streamed the next day on Hulu. International viewers can find the series on Disney+.”
