Hugo Sánchez joins Nu México and Netflix in 'Club Sin Peros'

Nu México and Netflix have launched Club Sin Peros, a campaign built around football, timing and the kind of fan who will not miss a match just because work gets in the way. Mariana Treviño is back as Isabel Iglesias, and Hugo Sánchez appears in the campaign as the launch gets underway in June and runs through the end of July.

The timing matters because the push arrives with Mundial 2026 on the horizon and with football already sitting close to the center of daily life for many people in Mexico. Daniel Rojas said that for the Mexican fan, football is a way of life, and that the campaign was born from that understanding: it speaks to people who, with ingenuity and determination, refuse to miss it.

That message is not aimed at a small niche. Between 70% and 80% of the Mexican population considers itself a football fan, yet only a small part of the population is expected to have access to the official tournament events. Several World Cup matches will also be played during working hours, which gives the campaign a practical edge beyond nostalgia. It is built to meet fans where they actually are, not where the tournament would prefer they be.

The return of Treviño as Isabel Iglesias gives the campaign its familiar comic force. Isabel has long been written as impulsive, passionate and ready to defend her team, a character that fits neatly into the message Nu México is trying to sell: football devotion does not pause for routine. Sánchez adds another layer, bringing a real ex-player into a campaign that leans on both memory and immediacy to land its point.

This is the second time Nu México and Netflix have worked together, and the setup relies on what already proved useful once before: a character people recognize, a sports figure people know, and a broad audience that follows football without needing a reminder. The first original Spanish-language series on Netflix, Club de Cuervos, gave the Isabel Iglesias world its place in popular culture almost a decade ago, and now the same universe is being used to frame a World Cup-year message.

What has not been fully spelled out is how the campaign will unfold day by day. Nu México said it will run across different digital channels and media outlets, but it did not detail which pieces of content will appear or how many activations will be included between June and late July. That leaves the core idea clear and the rollout still partly open: the campaign is live, the names are set, and the rest will be measured by how often it finds fans during the hours when many of them are busiest.
