Azteca Deportes is the sports division of Mexico's TV Azteca television network. It produces sports events and regular sports programming aired on the Azteca Trece and Azteca 7 networks in Mexico and on Azteca América in the United States.
Azteca's predecessor, Imevisión, had carried some sports programming, notably including the 1988 and 1992 Summer Olympics and the 1992 Winter Olympics, as well as the 1986 and 1990 FIFA World Cups. Azteca increased its sports programming upon privatization in 1993.
TV Azteca owns two clubs, Club Atlas in Guadalajara and Monarcas Morelia, and carries the home matches of those teams as well as Santos Laguna, Xolos de Tijuana, Tiburones Rojos de Veracruz and Puebla F.C.. In some cases, the rights are shared with ESPN.
TV Azteca also holds part or all of the Mexican rights to the UEFA Champions League, FIFA Confederations Cup, Copa América, CONCACAF Gold Cup, and the FIFA World Cup.
In addition, Azteca and competitor Televisa share the rights to the games of the Mexican national team through 2018.
