Physical 100: Mexico Release Time and Episodes (2026): When It Drops on Netflix in Every Time Zone

Quick answer: Physical 100: Mexico lands on Netflix on Wednesday, Sept. 16, 2026, at 12 a.m. PT / 3 a.m. ET. The Spanish-language title is Habilidad Física 100: México, and it is the franchise's second country edition after Italy.

What time does Physical 100: Mexico drop on Netflix?

Netflix did not name a special hour for this one, which means the house clock applies: midnight on the West Coast, 3 a.m. on the East Coast. Both TVmaze and Netflix's own title page date it to Sept. 16.

The Mexico City row above is our arithmetic, not a separate announcement. Mexico dropped daylight saving time in 2022, so while the U.S. is still on summer time the capital sits one hour ahead of Los Angeles — 1 a.m. there. Why Netflix settled on a Pacific midnight is worth two minutes if you have ever wondered.

Is it all at once, or in batches?

This is the honest part: Netflix has dated the opening episode and nothing else. TVmaze carries a single Sept. 16 entry, and no full episode calendar has been published.

The useful comparison is Italy, which started five days earlier and went out in four staggered drops rather than one binge:

That is the pattern the franchise has been using lately, and it is why we would not plan a Wednesday binge around this. We track which fall shows went weekly and which dumped everything at once in the binge-versus-weekly guide, and the full Italian calendar sits on our Italy page. If Netflix posts the Mexican dates, they go here first.

Who is in the cast of 100?

Mexican outlets have been running the competitor list since August. The names getting the most attention are lucha libre's Místico, alongside Atlantis Jr. and Soberano Jr.; footballers Carlos Salcido and Luis Hernández; triathlete and broadcaster Vanessa Huppenkothen; boxer Juan Francisco "Gallo" Estrada; swimmer Liliana Ibáñez; diver Jahir Ocampo; and the singer Pee Wee. The other 90-odd are firefighters, soldiers, CrossFit competitors and construction workers — the format's whole point is that they all start level.

Do you need Spanish to watch it?

No. It is a Spanish-language production, and Netflix carries subtitles and dubs the way it does for every non-English original — the same setup that got the Korean seasons watched worldwide. There is no separate U.S. release date; everyone gets it on the same clock.

Where does this sit in the Physical 100 universe?

The Korean original arrived in January 2023 and became Netflix's first Korean unscripted show to top its global chart. Physical: Asia followed in October 2025, Italy on Sept. 11 and Mexico today. A Swedish edition filmed this spring and a U.S. version has been cast but not dated.

FAQ

Can I watch it Tuesday night? In Hawaii, yes, from 9 p.m. Everywhere else in the U.S. it is a Wednesday.

How many episodes are there? Netflix has not published a full count. Only the Sept. 16 opener is dated, and Italy's eight-episode season is the closest guide we have.

What else is new this week? Neagley arrives complete on Prime Video the same morning, and Netflix doubles up Thursday with Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story and Tales From '85 season 2. Everything else is in New This Week, Sept. 14–20, with daily editions under Netflix and per-title pages on the release times hub. Plan pricing is on our September price list.
