World Cup kicks off on Univision

The very much anticipated start to the world’s biggest sporting event is underway on Univision, with Brasil vs. Croatia opening the FIFA World Cup.

The Spanish-language network will be airing the 56 live World Cup matches from Brazil, all simulcast on Univision Deportes Network.

UniMás and cable network Galavisión will air 8 live games and special programming during the month-long tournament.  The games will also be streamed live and available via de Univision Deportes app.

The games will be narrated by play-by-play announcers and commentators including Enrique “El Perro” Bermúdez, Félix “El Gato” Fernández, Jesús “El Profe” Bracamontes, and Luis Omar Tapia, among others.

Additional up-to-the-minute World Cup content will be available on www.UnivisionDeportes.com from now until the end of the championship.

ABC and ESPN will also be airing the World Cup – with English-language commentary. Here’s their game schedule.

In 2010, Univision set new Spanish-language ratings records throughout the tournament – with tune-in audiences reaching up to 8.7 million viewers despite the large time difference to South Africa.

An Deloitte analyst predicts a record-setting World cup for broadcasters globally, generating high audiences and broadcast and sponsorship revenues estimated at $4 billion dollars.

This is Univision’s last World Cup. Telemundo picked up the Spanish-language U.S. rights for the 2018 and 2022 World Cup tournaments at a cost of $600 million back in 2011.

Here’s the Univision schedule of the games:
