Telemundo Wins U.S. Spanish‑Language Rights to UEFA Club Competitions

Broadening Telemundo’s streaming reach, the exclusive three‑season agreement positions the network to capitalize on strong World Cup audiences and future rights packaging.

Overview

  • The agreement, announced Sunday, gives Telemundo exclusive U.S. Spanish‑language media rights to all UEFA men’s club competitions for three seasons beginning in 2027–28.
  • Telemundo will show every match live across its platforms, including the Telemundo network, Peacock, Universo and its FAST channel Telemundo Deportes Ahora.
  • Financial terms were not disclosed, but the deal replaces TelevisaUnivision’s current package that runs through the upcoming season and had sublicenses to DAZN.
  • Telemundo framed the purchase as building on record 2026 World Cup audiences, citing an average 6.0 million total audience through the semifinals and standout single‑match streaming gains.
  • With English‑language UEFA rights held by Paramount/CBS through 2029–30, the alignment of cycles raises the prospect of future bundling or renewed competition that could reshape U.S. soccer rights and distribution.
