Following FOX Latin America’s acquisition of Tigo Sports’ local programming and production in Central America, Tigo enhances its sports offering with more international leagues, more live events, and full coverage of the FIFA World Cup 2026™.
Luxembourg, April 13, 2026 – Tigo Central America and FOX Latin America today announced an agreement under which FOX will acquire Tigo Sports’ local sports content, a robust portfolio of local rights, production capabilities, and on-air talent across Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama.
As a result of this transaction, Tigo Central America customers will benefit from an enhanced sports offering that combines strong local content with a premium international portfolio, including some of the world’s most prominent leagues such as the Premier League, UEFA Europa League, Bundesliga (starting in the 2026–27 season), Saudi Pro League, and Liga MX, as well as more than 800 live sporting events annually across disciplines including baseball, motorsports, and mixed martial arts.
“Sports are a core part of our value proposition for customers in Central America, and we are committed to continuously enhancing that experience,” said Luciano Marino, VP of B2C at Millicom. “This step allows us to deliver a broader and more compelling sports offering, including full access to the FIFA World Cup 2026™ through Tigo Sports.”
