Disney and TelevisaUnivision have announced a significant multi-region distribution partnership, poised to revolutionize access to Spanish-language content for consumers in both the United States and Mexico. This strategic collaboration aims to provide unprecedented choice and accessibility, bringing the most-watched Spanish-language programming to a broader audience.

A key component of the new agreement will see TelevisaUnivision’s leading U.S. networks – including Univision, UniMás, TUDN, and Galavisión – launching on the Hulu + Live TV core channel lineup beginning June 3, 2025. This timely integration arrives just ahead of major sporting events like the highly-anticipated FIFA Club World Cup and Concacaf Gold Cup, granting Hulu + Live TV subscribers immediate access to the nation’s premier Spanish-language content, spanning scripted and unscripted series, news, sports, and live entertainment.

Furthermore, additional TelevisaUnivision channels such as N+FORO, TLNovelas, Bandamax, De Película, De Película Clásico, Telehit, and Telehit Música will subsequently be added to the Español add-on for Hulu + Live TV subscribers, further enriching the diverse content offerings.
Beyond the U.S. expansion, the partnership also extends to Mexico. Starting early June, Disney+ and ViX will be available as a combined offering, allowing ViX users in Mexico to access Disney+ content as part of their existing subscription.
Rafael Urbina, President of Streaming and Digital at TelevisaUnivision, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration. “We’re thrilled to enter into this new partnership with Disney that puts our community at the center,” Urbina stated. “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.”
Lauren Tempest, General Manager, Hulu & EVP, DTC Content Partnerships, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the strategic benefits for Disney. “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,” Tempest commented.
This multi-faceted partnership marks a significant milestone in the digital distribution landscape, promising to deliver a wider array of premium Spanish-language entertainment to a vast and growing audience across North America.
