Disney+ Strikes RTVE Deal to Stream Spain’s Public TV Hits Right After Broadcast

The pact signals Disney+'s push to pair free-to-air hits with near-real-time streaming to reach younger Spanish viewers.

Overview

  • A distribution deal announced Friday between Disney+ and Spain’s public broadcaster RTVE will bring selected RTVE shows to Disney+ starting March 31.
  • MasterChef Season 14 (13 episodes) and MasterChef Celebrity Season 11 (12 episodes) will appear on Disney+ immediately after their La1 broadcasts on TVE.
  • The agreement also covers scripted series, with police drama Rojo Sobre Blanco from Good Mood (Mediawan) set to stream on Disney+ after its TVE premiere.
  • Trade outlets describe the deal as a European first for a state broadcaster offering same-day or next-day streaming access to its linear shows.
  • Disney+ frames the move as expanding RTVE’s reach to younger viewers and as part of a broader Europe strategy that already includes Atresmedia, ARD/ZDF, SIC and ITVX, with more RTVE titles to be named.
