Spanish TV does not all live in one place. There are tons of free and paid options to watch Spanish-language TV out there that offer different value and content.
The smart move is to match the platform right for you to what you actually watch.
If you mainly want novelas and Spanish originals, one choice stands out. If you want Telemundo shows and Spanish sports, another one works better. And if you want a big live channel lineup with Univision and Telemundo in one place, the answer changes again.
Free options to watch Spanish-language TV in the US
Watch without a subscription through the following options:
1. ViX Gratis
- Device support: Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, browser tabs. Works on iPhone, iPad, Android, and smart-TV apps on the main screen.
This is the best free starting point if you want a Spanish-first app instead of a general free-TV service. It gives you movies, series, novelas, news 24/7, and some soccer content without asking for a credit card.
A lot of free services in the U.S. treat Spanish content like a side section. ViX does not. Spanish is the main event here.
Pros:
- No payment method is required.
- It’s not an English catalog with a small Spanish tab.
- It works on almost all devices.
Cons:
- Ads are part of the free plan.
- The catalog changes by region and rights.
2. Pluto TV
- Device support: Apple TV and Roku boxes, Fire TV sticks, Android and iPhone apps, Windows desktops, web browsers, and a long list of smart-TV platforms.
Pluto is free and has live-style channels. It also gives you on-demand movies and shows from its Spanish section. This is made of themed streams, older shows, movies, and news.
Where Pluto falls short is freshness. This is certainly not the place to keep up with the newest Telemundo or Univision episodes.
Pros:
- Free with no subscription fee.
- Easy to use on TVs, phones, and browsers.
- Good for older Spanish series.
Cons:
- You should expect ad breaks.
3. Canela.TV
- Device support: All the devices that can access the internet.
Canela.TV is a free service that suits you if you want a warmer, more family-friendly Spanish app than Pluto TV. The platform is fully Spanish.
It includes live channels, and it leans into novelas. Other offerings are classic series, movies, kids’ programming, music, and lifestyle content. The catalog is large enough that it feels like a real service, not a tiny add-on.
Canela is also a good answer if you want more than just Mexican broadcast reruns. Canela mixes classic telenovelas, Turkish dramas, movies, kids’ content, and live channels in one place.
Pros:
- 100% free.
- Includes live channels plus on-demand shows and movies.
- Works well for family viewing as it caters to kids, too.
Cons:
- It does not replace live Univision or live Telemundo in the way a paid bundle can.
- Ads are part of the free model.
4. Sling Freestream
- Device support: AirTV setups, Fire TV sticks, Android TV boxes, Apple TV, Roku, smart TVs, Chrome, Safari, Edge, tablets, and phones that already run the Sling app.
Sling Freestream is not a full Spanish TV service, but it is one of the better free supplements. It includes free Latino and international content such as Noticias Univision 24/7, La Rosa de Guadalupe, Zona TUDN, and free ViX Deportes channels. That makes it better than most free apps if you care about Spanish news and sports clips, along with entertainment.
Its biggest advantage is that it feels closer to a live TV guide than ViX Gratis or Canela. You can channel-hop, leave news on, and sample sports and entertainment feeds without paying.
Pros:
- Free access to useful Spanish content and not just random dubbed movies.
- Includes Noticias Univision 24/7 for news.
- Easy add-on to a paid setup because it costs nothing.
Cons:
- It is not a replacement for live Spanish cable channels.
- The free lineup has only samples and always-on feeds, not the full premium version of those brands.
Paid options to watch Spanish-language TV
For premium content and channels, subscribe to the following options:
1. ViX Premium
- Starting price (Per month): $6.99
- Device support: All major Operating Systems.
ViX Premium is the cheapest paid service here that still feels like a real Spanish-first home base. It gives you premium series and movies. The platform has live channels such as Las Estrellas, Golden, and Distrito Comedia, and next-day Univision novelas that stay available.
This is the service we recommend you pick first for TelevisaUnivision content if you do not care much about a full live-channel bundle.
It gives you more options than ViX Gratis, and it is much cheaper than a live TV package. It also handles Spanish originals better than the bigger live-TV services, because those bundles usually give you channels first and library depth second.
Pros:
- One of the cheapest paid Spanish streaming services in the U.S.
- Next-day Univision novelas are a big upgrade over free options.
- Live channels inside the app complement on-demand.
Cons:
- It is not a full live Spanish channel bundle.
- The ad-supported U.S. plan is limited to two simultaneous devices.
2. Peacock Premium
- Starting price (Per month): $10.99
- Device support: Any device with access to the internet.
This is the streaming home for a lot of Telemundo content. It also has Spanish-language news and certain live sports events in Spanish.
However, this is not a full live Telemundo channel replacement on most days. You generally cannot stream Telemundo entertainment shows at their first TV airtime there.
Pros:
- Very useful for Telemundo catch-up.
- Includes Spanish Telemundo channels. Some include Noticias Telemundo Ahora and Telemundo Deportes Ahora.
- The best choice when Telemundo has a major live sports event.
- Works on almost every mainstream streaming platform.
Cons:
- You usually cannot watch regular Telemundo shows at their initial TV airtime.
- It is more of a Telemundo companion than a full Spanish live-TV package.
3. Sling Latino
- Starting price (Per month): $10.00
- Device support: All the major operating systems.
Sling Latino is the cheapest true live Spanish TV package in this article. The base Latino pack costs $10 per month and gives you 20 channels, while other region packs let you lean toward Mexico, Sudamérica, Centroamérica, España, or Caribe.
This is the best choice if you want a low monthly bill and you like building your own lineup. It also includes 50 hours of DVR, on-demand content, and up to three streams at once on Sling Latino. That is a lot of flexibility for the money.
Pros:
- Cheapest paid live Spanish bundle here.
- Region-specific packs are useful if your viewing is more Mexico-, Spain-, or South America-focused.
- Includes 50 hours of DVR.
- Sling Latino supports up to three streams at once.
Cons:
- You may need extra packs if your household watches from more than one region.
4. Fubo Latino
- Starting price (Per month): $19.99.
- Device support: Apple TV, Roku OS sticks, and smart TVs. It also supports laptop browsers, iPhones, iPads, Android phones, and tablets.
This is the best sports-first Spanish TV option. It has 60+ channels and unlimited Cloud DVR.
Recently, the platform added Telemundo and Universo to the Latino plan. This makes it much more useful for U.S. Spanish sports viewing than it used to be.
Pros:
- Much better than before for Spanish sports after adding Telemundo and Universo.
- Unlimited Cloud DVR is included.
- Good fit if you use network apps through TV Everywhere.
- The channel count is much bigger than Sling Latino’s base pack.
Cons:
- Two included streams are tight for a large family.
- It leans more sports-first than novela-first.
5. NOW TV Latino
- Starting price (Per month): $15.00
- Device support: Xumo Stream Box and the Xfinity Stream app on supported hardware, plus mobile viewing and browser access when you are away from the main TV.
NOW TV Latino is one of the best value picks in this whole article. For a low price, the service gives you access to 200+ live channels. More than 45 of them are in Spanish.
It also includes Peacock Premium with ads plus ViX Premium with ads. That is a rare mix. You are not just getting live TV. You are also getting two of the most useful Spanish streaming add-ons bundled into the price.
Pros:
- One of the strongest price-to-value deals in Spanish streaming right now.
- Includes both Peacock Premium with ads and ViX Premium with ads.
- Gives you a broad live lineup plus strong on-demand extras.
- Better all-around family choice.
Cons:
- Apple TV, LG, and Samsung TVs are not supported.
- It is tied more closely to Xfinity’s streaming platform than being a stand-alone app.
6. DIRECTV MiEspañol
- Starting price (Per month): $32.99
- Device support: All devices connected to the internet.
This is the most complete Spanish-first live TV bundle on our list. It carries 60+ popular Spanish-language channels. This includes Univision and Telemundo.
The service also includes ViX Premium with ads. It has the quality-of-life tools that matter in real homes. One of these is their cloud DVR recordings for up to nine months. Another is that you could stream on unlimited compatible devices on your home network with up to three streams away from home.
Pros:
- Best all-in-one Spanish live TV package for many U.S. homes.

- ViX Premium with ads is included.
