Telemundo Deportes Thread

I've noticed that Spanish-language networks don't get much love around here so I thought I start one for Telemundo Deportes as their Spanish-language sports coverage is starting to become more impressive.

 

For starters, Telemundo just released their Upfront, which is their plans for the upcoming TV season, and news came out that they're expanding their sports coverage big time. They already have Premier League coverage in Spanish, and so does several NFL games and Super Bowls in conjunction with NBC. Oh, and don't forget the 2026 FIFA World Cup. They will be all over that one to cover all 104 matches.

 

Two things caught my eye, though, with this Upfront:

• Telemundo is a partial Spanish-language home of the NBA, airing 11 games per season, including the NBA All-Star Game, so NBC was able to get Spanish-language rights as well for Telemundo.
• The network is launching a 24/7 Spanish-language FAST sports channel in August: Telemundo Deportes Ahora, possibly modeling it just like their FAST news version, Noticias Telemundo Ahora. As far as I'm aware, this will be the biggest 24/7 FAST Spanish-language sports channel because I don't think Univision has any on ViX, and even if they do, its mainly Liga MX content. Telemundo's FAST version will probably be way different, but only time will tell.

 

(Yes, this article does cover over stuff, but its the sports content that got my interest in this):

Telemundo Deportes is good but it can’t compare to Univision Deportes which has all the soccer matches.

After a longtime of being at Univision Deportes (17 years), Lindsay Casinelli has since left and joined Telemundo Deportes. Right on cue as well for upcoming coverage of the Olympics.

Sunday Night Basketball won't just be on NBC... but it will also be on Telemundo.

 

As a matter of fact, it will all begin on the same day on both networks, next Sunday, February 1st.
