Telemundo Expands Soccer Portfolio with UEFA Champions League Deal
US · Published Jul 20, 2026
Telemundo, owned by NBCUniversal, has secured exclusive U.S.
Spanish-language broadcast rights for all UEFA men’s club competitions, including the Champions League, Europa League, Conference League, and Super Cup.

Impact & Risks

The agreement strengthens Telemundo's position in the competitive U.S. soccer broadcasting market, particularly among Spanish-speaking audiences. It also introduces potential competition for Paramount, the current English-language rights holder, as Telemundo's broadcasts on Peacock may attract English-speaking viewers. Fans of UEFA competitions will benefit from increased accessibility, while the deal may challenge existing broadcasters like TelevisaUnivision and DAZN.
