TelevisaUnivision will air weekly programs devoted to Major League Baseball and will also be allowed to broadcast some postseason games, making it the first time the World Series will be broadcast on a Spanish-language television channel.
The pact, unveiled Thursday, includes a grant to TelevisaUnivision of exclusive U.S. Spanish-language rights to the 2024 American League Division Series and American League Championship Series, which will air on UniMás and be simulcast on TUDN, with select games on Univision. The games will also be available on ViX’s premium tier. Additionally, Game 1 of the 2024 World Series will air on Univision, in partnership with Fox Sports and Fox Deportes.
“Major League Baseball is truly excited to launch this new partnership as it presents a valuable opportunity to expand exposure for our great sport through the formidable reach of TelevisaUnivision’s unmatched domestic platform,” Kenny Gersh, executive vice president, media and business for Major League Baseball, said in a statement. “Authenticating with our robust Spanish-speaking fan base is a priority for Baseball and this partnership allows us to more directly connect them with our brand, our clubs and the growing number of dynamic Latino stars represented in the sport today.”
