Overview
- A deal announced Sunday gives Telemundo exclusive U.S. Spanish-language rights for all UEFA men’s club competitions for three seasons starting in 2027-28.
- Telemundo will air every Champions League match and other UEFA events across NBCUniversal platforms including Peacock, Universo and the Telemundo Deportes Ahora FAST channel.
- The agreement displaces the current TelevisaUnivision Spanish package that sublicenses games to DAZN and will take effect after the upcoming season ends.
- NBCUniversal executives said the move follows record Spanish-language and cross-language World Cup audiences and aims to keep growing live soccer viewership on its broadcast and streaming services.
- By aligning the Spanish term with Paramount’s English deal through 2029-30, the contract creates a pathway for bundled English and Spanish auctions and could intensify competition among U.S. broadcasters and streamers.
