Telemundo Secures Exclusive Spanish-Language Rights for UEFA Competitions
US · Published Jul 20, 2026
Telemundo has announced a significant expansion of its soccer broadcasting portfolio by securing exclusive Spanish-language television rights for all UEFA men’s club competitions starting with the 2027-28 season.
The three-year agreement includes the UEFA Champions League, Europa League, Conference League, and Super Cup.

Impact & Risks

This deal positions Telemundo as a dominant player in the U.S. soccer broadcasting market, particularly for Spanish-speaking audiences. Fans of UEFA competitions will benefit from expanded access to matches in Spanish, while competitors like TelevisaUnivision and DAZN, which currently hold these rights, may face challenges in retaining their audience. The agreement also underscores the growing commercial value of UEFA competitions, which continue to attract significant global viewership.
