Chilean football received tremendous news this Wednesday, as it was confirmed that the Women's League will be broadcast on open television starting from Matchday 4. Mega will be the channel responsible for bringing the competition to all homes in Chile, starting this weekend with a match that is sure to generate buzz. We are talking about the university classic between U and UC, which will take place this Sunday, April 5, at the National Stadium, as a preliminary to the men's match against Deportes La Serena.
This is news that women's football in Chile welcomes with joy, as in recent years, broadcasts mostly depended on the clubs themselves. A couple of years ago, DirecTV took on that role by contracting their services. The same was true for Zapping, which did so during the 2024 season.
Open television channels have only recently appeared for the finals held in recent years: TVN in 2022, Chilevisión in 2023, and Mega in 2024 and 2025. According to information from the women's football program "Cortita y al Pie," Bethia's channel will not broadcast all the matches of the date, but will air at least two. This, as stated by the ANFP, will help to expand "the reach of the competition and bring each matchday to more homes across the country.
