TelevisaUnivision is back on YouTube TV. The Spanish-language media giant has signed a new multi-year agreement that restores its flagship U.S. networks—Univision, UNIMÁS, TUDN, and Galavisión—to YouTube TV’s Base Plan and Spanish Plan. The renewed partnership expands access to some of the most-watched Hispanic news, sports, and entertainment programming in the U.S., closing a gap that had frustrated millions of viewers.

But the deal goes further than a simple return. ViX, TelevisaUnivision’s global streaming platform, will now be available through YouTube’s Primetime Channels. Even more notably, YouTube is extending its Primetime Channels product into Mexico for the first time, using ViX as its launch partner—a move that signals deeper competition in Spanish-language streaming.

A Win for Viewers Who Lost Access

Univision’s absence from YouTube TV in recent months left a sizable hole in Hispanic households, many of which rely on the network for nightly news, Liga MX matches, novelas, and award shows. Restoring access was a priority for TelevisaUnivision.

“We are pleased to have reached an agreement that restores Univision to YouTube TV, ensuring millions of Hispanics can access the news, sports, and entertainment they care about,” said Daniel Alegre, CEO of TelevisaUnivision. He emphasized the company’s long-standing mission to reflect the voice of Hispanic audiences—something the renewed distribution will help reinforce.

YouTube Expands Its Spanish-Language Bet

The broader collaboration reflects YouTube’s more aggressive push into curated streaming bundles and multilingual offerings. Primetime Channels, originally a U.S.-only product, extending into Mexico shows a strategic effort to meet demand in one of the world’s most active digital video markets.

ViX—now the largest Spanish-language streaming service—becomes a cornerstone of that expansion. By placing its vast library of novelas, live sports, originals, and news programming inside YouTube’s ecosystem, TelevisaUnivision opens a fresh funnel for reach. YouTube, meanwhile, gets a premium anchor partner with deep cultural resonance.

Strengthening a Growing Content Alliance

Beyond carriage rights, the two companies say the agreement sets the stage for new joint initiatives. While details remain under wraps, expect experiments around cross-platform promotion, live-event amplification, and deeper integration of Spanish-language content into YouTube’s recommendation and discovery layers.

The deal comes as Spanish-language media continues to surge across streaming and digital platforms. With competition mounting from Peacock’s Telemundo, Netflix’s Latin content expansion, and regional players like Claro Video, distribution breadth is becoming a defining advantage. TelevisaUnivision’s renewed pact with YouTube strengthens its footprint at a pivotal moment.

A Media Powerhouse With Global Reach

The partnership taps into TelevisaUnivision’s massive production engine. The company operates top-tier broadcast networks across the U.S. and Mexico, 38 cable channels, one of the region’s most prolific film studios, and a dominant Spanish-language radio footprint. ViX alone delivers thousands of hours of live sports and originals, giving YouTube a valuable catalog as it expands deeper into premium streaming.

For viewers—and especially Hispanic households in the U.S.—the return of Univision and its sister networks to YouTube TV marks a meaningful restoration. For YouTube, it’s a strategic upgrade. And for TelevisaUnivision, the pact ensures its content reaches audiences who increasingly prefer streaming-first experiences.
