Telemundo Secures Spanish-Language Rights for UEFA Competitions Starting 2027
US · Published Jul 20, 2026
Telemundo has been awarded the Spanish-language broadcast rights for UEFA men's club competitions in the United States, starting with the 2027-28 season.
The deal, announced on July 19, 2026, will span three seasons and include the UEFA Champions League, Europa League, Conference League, Super Cup, and Youth League.

Impact & Risks

This deal is expected to significantly enhance the visibility of UEFA competitions among Spanish-speaking audiences in the U.S., a demographic that has shown increasing interest in soccer. Telemundo's extensive reach, covering 96% of U.S. Hispanic TV households, positions it as a key player in promoting European football. However, the agreement also raises competitive stakes for other broadcasters vying for sports rights in the U.S. market. The deal could further solidify soccer's growing popularity in the country, potentially influencing advertising and sponsorship dynamics.
