For many Spanish-language households, Univision is a breath of fresh air in the TV landscape. It's a taste of home as it airs familiar shows like El Chavo del Ocho, Lente Loco, and El Gordo y la Flaca, and depending on where you are, it even broadcasts the local news in your native tongue.
Univision used to be included in hefty pricey and complicated cable packages, but these days, it's just as easy to watch live on streaming services.
To watch Univision live without cable, you can sign up for any of the live TV streaming services that carry the channel. We listed the best ones below and included other details about them you might want to know too, like channel lineups, price points, and free trial offers.
DirecTV Stream
DirecTV Stream is a streaming service that offers everything from live TV, local channels, on-demand films, sports packages, and even premium cable networks like HBO and Starz for an additional fee. Its plans, which start at $70/month, are on the pricier side of live TV, but that’s because it offers unlimited DVR and streams on top of at least 75 channels, depending on the plan you pick.
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.
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.
DirecTV Stream Ultimate
DirecTV Stream Ultimate is the second-biggest package offered by DirecTV Stream. With it, you get up to 160 channels (up 40 channels from the previous tier) across entertainment, sports, and news. That’s almost any channel you can think of—from TBS and USA; to ESPN and CBS Sports; to CNN and BBC News; and so much more. You get it all, plus tens of thousands of on-demand titles for the price of $109.99/month (saving you roughly $40/month from the package after it), so if the budget allows, it's worth trying the Ultimate plan yourself.
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.
Fubo Latino
Fubo Latino is one of the more reasonably priced Spanish plans in live TV right now. At just $33/month, you get more than 60 Spanish-language channels and all the features a Fubo plan typically has like unlimited DVR, three simultaneous streams, and a seven-day free trial. The channel lineup includes popular channels like Univision and Galavisión, and of course, sports channels like ESPN Deportes, Fox Deportes, and TyC Sports.
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.
