Alejandro Berry is a Mexican sports journalist and television commentator, best known for his long tenure at Televisa’s sports network (later TUDN). He followed his father, veteran journalist Jorge Berry, into broadcasting. Berry carved out a career covering soccer (fútbol) for both Mexican and U.S. Spanish-language audiences.
Family Background
Alejandro Berry grew up in a media-oriented family. His father, Jorge Berry, was a prominent Mexican television journalist and newscaster who covered sports and major international events (Olympics, Super Bowl, etc.) for decades. Jorge Berry had four children (two sons, two daughters), of whom Alejandro is the only one to follow him into journalism. Alejandro’s three siblings – eldest sister Danna, sister Alana, and brother Pablo – pursued non-media careers. Alejandro has described his father as “a man of a brilliant mind and a giant heart,” and he often credits Jorge for inspiring his own career choice.
Professional Career
Alejandro Berry’s career has centered on sports broadcasting, particularly soccer (fútbol). He spent about 15 years (roughly 2010–2025) at TUDN, as a reporter, analyst, and host. Early in his career, he was involved with TUDN’s flagship show Contacto Deportivo, which commemorated its 20-year anniversary in 2022 by looking back on his debut. Over time, he became a regular on programs such as Fútbol Central. According to Infobae, Berry “consolidated as one of the most recognized faces” on the network, noted for his forthright style, in-depth analysis and constant on-air presence. Before leaving Televisa/TUDN, Berry reported on Liga MX games, CONCACAF tournaments such as the Gold Cup and Nations League, Major League Soccer, and UEFA Champions League matches. He, along with soccer legends Iván Zamorano and Javier Zanetti, attended the 2023 UCL final. Berry has also interviewed top athletes like Mexican Formula 1 driver Sergio “Checo” Pérez, English footballer David Beckham, and the late Argentine icon Diego Maradona.
Alejandro announced on social media in November 2025 that he was leaving the company. He thanked colleagues and fans for their support and said he was “ready for what’s next”. The Mexican media have described his exit from Televisa as the “closing of a cycle” for a generation of sports broadcasters. Shortly thereafter, it was confirmed that he had signed with Telemundo Deportes in the United States, which made him part of Telemundo’s expanded soccer coverage leading up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
