Telemundo Super Bowl 2022

Telemundo will air Super Bowl in 2022

May 18, 2021 by Veronica Villafañe

For the first time in the network’s history, Telemundo will broadcast the Super Bowl.

The Big Game has previously aired on its sister cable net Universo, which the company has tried to build as a sports and entertainment destination.

Telemundo Deportes will present exclusive Spanish-language coverage of Super Bowl LVI, live on Telemundo on February 13, 2022 from Los Angeles, CA.

Under the new agreement, Telemundo Deportes will be the Spanish-language home of Sunday Night Football for the next 13 seasons. It will continue to present the NBC Sunday Night Football package, including all Sunday night regular-season games, the NFL Kickoff game, the annual Thanksgiving prime time game, two Wild Card games, and one Divisional Playoff Game. The distribution will expand with select games shifting to broadcast television, with Telemundo Network featuring both Super Bowl LVI and the Sunday primetime Wild Card game this coming season.

In the 2021 NFL season, Universo will televise 22 NBC NFL games, beginning Thursday, September 9 at 8 p.m. ET with NFL Kickoff 2021 featuring Tom Brady and the Super Bowl-champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers facing Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys. The game will be followed by the season opener of Sunday Night Football featuring the Los Angeles Rams vs. Chicago Bears, live on Universo on Sunday, September 12 with coverage beginning at 8 p.m. ET.

Game coverage throughout each NFL season will be complemented by NFL content across Telemundo Deportes platforms, including dedicated NFL segments on Zona Mixta, Titulares y Más and Telemundo Deportes digital platforms, along with highlights, features and specials.

The 2021 NFL season will be the ninth season that Telemundo Deportes will present NFL games. Last season was the first time that Sunday Night Football’s full schedule was available on Spanish-language television in the U.S. and will continue through 2033. Past coverage has included various Thursday and Sunday Night Football presentations including two Super Bowls on Universo (2015 and 2018).
