A new distribution partnership has been announced between TelevisaUnivision and Disney Entertainment. This partnership will see TelevisaUnivision’s U.S. Networks, including Univision, UniMás, TUDN, and Galavisió, coming to Hulu + Live TV’s core channel lineup starting on June 3, 2025. This will be just in time for viewers to be able to catch the FIFA Club World Cup and the Concacaf Gold Cup. This gives subscribers access to the most-watched Spanish-language content in the country. This includes scripted and unscripted hits to the best in news, sports, and live entertainment. Disney also shared that TelevisaUnivision channels, including N+FORO, TLNovelas, Bandamax, De Película, De Película Clásico, Telehit, and Telehit Música will be added at a later date to the Español add-on for Hulu + Live TV subscribers.
“We’re thrilled to enter into this new partnership with Disney that puts our community at the center. TelevisaUnivision is the top producer of Spanish-language content in the world, and this deal underscores two critically important elements: our portfolio is a main anchor for any pay TV distributor—without TelevisaUnivision, there is no complete pay-tv offering; and our direct-to-consumer business continues to break boundaries as ViX further strengthens its powerful connection to Hispanics around the world,” said Rafael Urbina, President of Streaming and Digital at TelevisaUnivision.
On top of this new partnership, it was announced that beginning in June, Disney+ and ViX will be available as a combined offering in Mexico. This will give ViX users access to Disney+ as part of their subscription.
“This new partnership allows us to strategically build upon our current channel offering and Spanish-language content available on Hulu + Live TV, while providing subscribers in Mexico with a meaningful opportunity to access the very best of Disney’s blockbuster films, award-winning Originals and iconic franchises alongside TelevisaUnivision’s industry-leading Spanish-language content including news, novelas, sports and more in one subscription,” said Lauren Tempest, General Manager, Hulu & EVP, DTC Content Partnerships.
