Univision network news anchor Ilia Calderón and Univision 41 anchor Victor Javier Solano during TelevisaUnivision's May 13, 2025 Upfront.

TelevisaUnivision focuses on sports, reality, and streaming; news absent from upfronts

May 13, 2025 by Veronica Villafañe 1 Comment

TelevisaUnivision did not announce any new news products during its 2025-26 Upfronts. However, the company did feature network and local anchors Ilia Calderón and Victor Javier Solano, who presented the company’s community-related initiatives.

Company executives placed a strong emphasis on streaming, expanded sports rights, reality programming, music initiatives, and short-form vertical video series designed to attract younger, mobile-first audiences.

Although Univision lost the rights to broadcast the FIFA World Cup and has not aired the tournament since 2014, the network has been expanding its soccer portfolio in other areas.

As part of its Upfront presentation, TelevisaUnivision announced it secured a landmark deal with Concacaf for exclusive U.S. Spanish-language rights to the Confederation’s full slate of premier women’s soccer competitions through 2030.

The multi-year agreement includes:

  • Concacaf W Championship: National team tournament serves as a qualifier for both the FIFA Women’s World Cup Brazil 2027 and the LA 2028 Olympic Games.
  • Concacaf W Gold Cup: Region’s top-tier competition for women’s senior national teams.
  • Concacaf W Nations League: New competition designed to elevate women’s national teams across the region; also serves as the qualifying tournament for the Concacaf W Gold Cup.
  • Concacaf W Champions Cup: Newly created club tournament featuring top teams from Mexico (Liga MX Femenil), the U.S. (NWSL), Central America, and the Caribbean. The winner earns a spot in the annual FIFA Women’s Champions Cup and the quadrennial FIFA Women’s Club World Cup.

More details about TelevisaUnivision’s full programming lineup are available on Forbes.
