Table Of Contents
Telemundo has grown from little WKAQ-TV in San Juan, Puerto Rico to be the leading US producer of Spanish-language TV in the world. Although Telemundo still plays the second violín to rival Univision in some time slots, they are the #1 primetime Spanish-language channel among 18 to 49-year-olds for three years running.
Telemundo is an “over-the-air” (OTA) broadcast network, just like ABC, NBC, and CBS. This means it has a “network feed” of national content that it broadcasts, such as Telemundo-produced series, Noticias Nacionales (national news), and major sporting events. In addition, local affiliate stations also produce their own content, such as local news and sports.
On Telemundo, you can catch Spanish-language coverage of sports — like the Olympics and the FIFA World Cup — as well as original telenovelas and other series, and movies — some produced in Spanish and some translated from English or other languages.
How to Watch Telemundo Live Without Cable
NBC bought Telemundo in 2001, and it remains part of the larger NBCUniversal media family. Telemundo’s sister stations at NBC include the more bilingual Universo and TeleXitos, which runs action-adventure TV and films from the last 40 years, dubbed in Spanish.
Telemundo is available in over 80 media markets throughout the US and its territories. So if you happen to be among the almost 60% of Americans who live within their broadcast reach, the cheapest way to watch Telemundo is by buying an antenna and tuning into the OTA signal for free.
No subscription, no monthly fees, no sign-in required.
But, if you can’t get an antenna to access Telemundo the old-fashioned way, you can always try the streaming services I recommend below as alternatives.

FAQ
Can I watch the Super Bowl on Telemundo?
Telemundo generally covers NFL games during the regular season the same way that NBC does. So you can watch the Super Bowl on Telemundo when NBC has the rights to the event as it will for Super Bowl LX (in 2026). This year, Telemundo won’t be broadcasting the Super Bowl.
Will the NFL playoffs be shown on Telemundo?
Telemundo is a standard broadcaster of NFL regular season games with Spanish-language commentary — generally airing those that are also broadcast through NBC Sports (mostly, NBC Sunday Night Football). Similarly, Telemundo airs the postseason matchups that NBC airs in English.
What fútbol can I watch on Telemundo?
Telemundo is home to the FIFA World Cup, Liga MX’s Chivas de Guadalajara home matches, Spanish-language coverage of England’s Premier League, select CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers, FIFA Women’s World Cup, Copa America, and various major summer tournaments. It also provides Olympic coverage of soccer (plus all the other Olympic sporting events). Spanish commentary is provided by none other than Andrés Cantor.
Where are Telemundo’s shows produced?
Most of Telemundo’s TV consists of first-run original series filmed and produced at Telemundo Studios, located just outside Miami, Florida. Some shows are co-productions with other studios or imported series from other countries. Some of these studios include Colombian TV network Caracol, Promofilm in Argentina, RTI Colombia, and Mexican production company Argos Comunicación.
Telemundo also airs English-language American movies dubbed in Spanish alongside films produced in Spanish originating in a variety of Latin American countries.
How can I watch Telemundo in English?
The short answer: you can’t watch Telemundo in English. Telemundo broadcasts exclusively in Spanish, targeting a Spanish-speaking audience. But if, say, you really dig telenovelas but English is your primary (or only) language, you’ll be thrilled to know that Telemundo was the first American Spanish-language station to present its programming with English subtitles. Subtitles are typically limited to weekday primetime and are produced in-house.
