The participation of Mexico in the OTI Festival began at the second OTI Festival in 1973. The Mexican participating broadcaster was Televisa, which was member of the Organización de Televisión Iberoamericana (OTI). Televisa participated in twenty-seven of the twenty-eight editions, only missing the first edition. It won the festival six times: in 1973, 1975, 1985, 1989, 1990, and 1997; and it hosted the event also six times: 1974, 1976, 1981, 1984, 1991, and 2000.

During the contest’s run, Mexico was one of the most successful countries with its six wins, including a back-to-back victory in 1989 and 1990, and fourteen top 3 finishes.
