Hispanic audiences need no introduction to Telemundo, but just in case: the NBC-owned channel is home to plenty of beloved Spanish-language shows produced both in and out of the mainland. There’s Betty La Fea, La Patrona, Caso Cerrado, and La Casa de los Famosos, just to name a few. If you're lucky, you might have a station in your area and receive local news and sports coverage too, along with the usual telenovela and talk show.
The good news is that you don't need cable or an antenna to watch Telemundo. These days, it's just as easy to watch Telemundo and other live channels when you go cordless. To get Telemundo live without cable, you can sign up for a live TV streaming service that offers the channel.
There are plenty of options out there, but the best one will depend on your needs. On a budget? Go for Peacock, which has on-demand Telemundo content, too, by the way. Have money to spare? DirecTV Stream and YouTube TV offer comprehensive packages for more viewing options. You can read more about all these streaming services in the list below.
Fubo
Designed for the ultimate sports fan, Fubo is an on-demand and live TV service that streams games from multiple leagues including the NFL, NBA, MLB, and the Premier League. You can get up to 215 live channels on your lineup, which includes coverage on RSNs and local stations, though you might have to pay extra if you want premium entertainment channels like Starz and Showtime.
Hulu with Live TV
Combining the best of streaming and cable, Hulu with Live TV pairs Hulu’s original programming like Only Murders in the Building, imports like Normal People, and licensed ABC shows like Modern Family with live TV channels like CNN, CBS, and TCM to give you an all-in-one TV package. The plans start at $77/month (with ads), but for an additional fee, you can upgrade to a bundle that removes commercials and throws in Disney+ and ESPN+ to the mix.
YouTube TV
Often dubbed as the best cordless replacement to cable, YouTube TV is a live TV streaming platform that gives you access to more than 100 channels, sporting events, local channels, unlimited DVR space, and up to three simultaneous streams. But what really gives YouTube TV its edge is customization; depending on your needs, you can easily add premium channels like HBO, sports channels like NFL Redzone, and Spanish channels like Unimas to your preferred lineup.
Fubo Elite
If you're a sports fan looking to cover all your bases, Fubo Elite has more than 256 channels and 130 live events that cover sports of all kinds, from basketball to cricket to golf. Channels include ESPN, CBS Sports Network, FS1 and FS2, beIN Sports, NFL Network, all the BIG Networks, and more. Depending on where you live, you should also have all the major local networks like ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX. Even though Fubo Elite is a notch above the basic tier, with unlimited DVR and simultaneous screens, it still notably does not have Turner channels like CNN, TNT, and TBS.
DirecTVStream Optimo Más
DirecTVStream's Spanish-language plan boasts a hundred channels, including major networks like Univision and Telemundo in select markets, and plenty of Hispanicized favorites like Nat Geo Mundo, CNN es Español, and Hogar de HGTV. At $80/month, Optimo Más is a lot pricer than other Spanish plans like Fubo Latino, which goes for about $35/month, but it generally has more channels (in Spanish and English alike) and offers great features like three simultaneous streams and unlimited DVR. Unlike with DirecTV cable, you can easily cancel your subscription with the contract-less Optimo Más if you're not satisfied.
Peacock
Apart from NBC sitcoms, Bravo reality shows, live news channels, and sports events like Sunday Night Football and Premier League matches, Peacock is also the streaming home to originals like Girls5Eva, Poker Face, and Bel-Air. A subscription costs $8/month, but if you want to opt out of ads and tune into your local NBC channel on top of all this, then you can choose their Premium Plus plan, which costs $14/month.
Spectrum TV Latino
Exclusively availably to Spectrum Internet customers, Spectrum TV Latino is a streaming package that offers 45 live channels for just $25/month (exclusive of tax). All these channels cater to Spanish-speaking audiences, and they include popular ones like Univision, Unimas, Telemundo in select markets, and TUDN and beIN for sports fans. You can purchase Spectrum TV Latino as a standalone plan, or you can bundle it as an add-on to your Spectrum TV Stream plan.
