So, the Necaxa trailer just dropped, and if you’re a fan of sports docuseries with heart, you might wanna mark your calendar. The show officially kicks off August 7 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on FXX, with streaming available the next day on Hulu, and for folks outside the U.S., it’ll be on Disney+ Latin America.

At the center of the Necaxa trailer? Eva Longoria, yes, that Eva Longoria, is teaming up with Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney (formerly McElhenney, but more on that in a bit). The trio co-owns Club Necaxa, a historic Mexican football team based in Aguascalientes, and this series gives us a front-row seat to their journey.

Necaxa Trailer First Impressions

The Necaxa trailer doesn’t waste time. It dives straight into emotion, culture, and a whole lot of passion. There’s sweeping footage of Aguascalientes in the Necaxa trailer, gritty behind-the-scenes moments, and scenes that show just how much this team means to the community. We see everything from player injuries to staff shakeups, the kind of real-life drama that sports fans eat up.

But this isn’t just about wins and losses. Like Welcome to Wrexham, Necaxa blends football with deeply personal storytelling. It’s about rebuilding pride, navigating tough transitions, and figuring out how to lead a team with a ton of history on its shoulders.

Longoria’s presence is especially strong; she’s not just a face for the cameras. The Necaxa trailer shows her deeply involved, trying to breathe new life into a club that’s been through its fair share of ups and downs.

A Football Show That Speaks Two Languages (Literally)

One thing that sets Necaxa apart is its bilingual approach. It mirrors the culture of the team itself, rooted in Mexico but expanding its reach far beyond. Rob Mac even talks about simplifying his name to better connect with Spanish-speaking fans, which feels like a thoughtful, if small, gesture.

Ryan Reynolds, Mac, and Longoria know the power of storytelling. Just like they did with Wrexham, they’re using their fame to spotlight a lesser-known club with a rich backstory, and hopefully, build something lasting.

Episodes will drop weekly (or sometimes biweekly), and there’s a good chance this series will pull in viewers who love emotional underdog stories or just want to see what happens when Hollywood meets Liga MX.

If Welcome to Wrexham made you tear up once or twice, prepare for Necaxa to hit just as hard, maybe even harder.
