Telemundo Secures Exclusive UEFA Rights Amidst Soaring Spanish-Language Football Viewership
By Yassine yy

The acquisition follows record-setting TV ratings for the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Telemundo, highlighting a significant increase in U.S. Spanish-language viewership for football. Telemundo already holds rights for the Premier League, Liga MX, and Olympic soccer, featuring clubs like Chivas Guadalajara and Tigres UANL. This strategic move aims to capitalize on the growing demand for authentic football broadcasts, bringing top stars like Mbappe, Lamine, Haaland, and Dembele to its audience. The 2026 Champions League final, won by Paris Saint-Germain against Arsenal, also set new U.S. TV audience peaks. Telemundo recently added Bundesliga rights, further expanding its football portfolio.
