How to Watch UniMás Chicago (WXFT) For Free & Without Cable

Last updated: June 15, 2026

UniMás Chicago, WXFT, is Univision's secondary Spanish-language network in the market and the sister station to WGBO. It leans on sports, action programming, and Univision's overflow content. Over the air it's free, and on the streaming side it's sparse. Fubo is effectively the only major live service carrying it here, so for most people the antenna is the simplest route.

Watching UniMás With an Antenna

WXFT broadcasts free over the air in the Chicago market as Univision's secondary Spanish-language signal. An antenna is the most dependable way to get it, since it barely registers on the streaming services here.

Over the air: Free · Reception: Good

Chicago is about as easy as over-the-air TV gets. Almost every full-power station transmits from a single cluster downtown, most of it off the Willis Tower, and the land around the city is famously flat. Point a basic antenna toward the Loop and you will usually pull in the major networks without much trouble. The signal thins out as you push past the collar counties toward the Wisconsin and Indiana lines, where an amplified or outdoor antenna starts to matter.
