It will be played from 8:15 pm (US Eastern Time) and 7:15 pm local time. As is tradition, it will be at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City.
Since the first game of the NFL regular season was played in Mexico in 2005, a total of four games have been held, all of them at the Azteca Stadium, thanks to its enormous fan capacity.
Similar to what other US leagues have done, the main reason for the NFL to hold games in Mexico is to grow football fans outside of the United States and make the sport a much more global phenomenon. At the moment there are no plans to change this tradition and at least one official game will continue to be developed in Mexico in each campaign.
On July 29, the official sale of tickets for this meeting to be held on August 18 was announced, with costs between 990 pesos ($46.5) and 9,000 pesos ($465.4) from the official page of Ticketmaster Mexico. No sales are made at physical box offices or by phone, only through digital media.
There are only a few days left until the #NFL go back to aztec territory 🦅🏈🇲🇽https://t.co/TAL8ZbAoBr

As it is a Monday Night Football game, the transmission will be carried out in parallel through ESPN and ABC, as the owners of the rights for these prime-time games. Via streaming, the ESPN+ services will be available and also the NFL GamePass.
In Mexico, the meeting will go exclusively on the ESPN signal for television, since similarly to what happens in the United States, the Disney network is the owner of American football broadcasts at night. To see them through the Internet, the Star+ service will be available and also the NFL GamePass.
For the rest of Latin America, ESPN is the network that has the exclusivity of television broadcasting. Its Star+ streaming service has coverage for a large part of the 2022-23 campaign, so it will be in charge of this live meeting, in addition to counting the subscription of the NFL Games Pass as an alternative.
