Quick answer
US Spanish-language networks such as Univision, Telemundo, UniMás, Galavisión and TUDN are on most cable and live TV services, and ViX and Peacock stream many novelas, shows and matches. Channels straight from Mexico, Colombia, Central America or the Caribbean, like Las Estrellas, Azteca Uno or Caracol, are harder to find in one place. An IPTV service like TarakTV lists US Spanish-language channels and channels from across Latin America that people commonly look for in one app with an on-screen guide, from 15 dollars a month or 130 dollars a year, with a free 24-hour trial.
- About 68 million Hispanic people lived in the US in 2024 (ACS), and the Census Bureau's 2025 estimate passed 70 million.
- About 39 million are of Mexican origin, followed by Puerto Rican (6.1 million), Cuban (2.9 million), Salvadoran (2.8 million) and Dominican (2.5 million).
- About 44.9 million people aged 5 and over speak Spanish at home (ACS 2024).
- Mexico City is 1 hour behind New York in winter and 2 hours behind in summer, because Mexico dropped daylight saving time.
- TarakTV plans start at 15 dollars a month, with WhatsApp support in plain language.
The largest language community in the US after English
Latinos are the second-largest group in the United States. The 2024 American Community Survey counted about 68 million Hispanic people, and Pew Research Center reports that the Census Bureau's estimate for July 2025 passed 70 million.
The community is very diverse. About 39 million people are of Mexican origin. There are also about 6.1 million Puerto Ricans, 2.9 million Cubans, 2.8 million Salvadorans, 2.5 million Dominicans, 1.8 million Colombians and 1.2 million Venezuelans, plus large Guatemalan, Honduran, Ecuadorian and Peruvian communities.
That diversity is why one Spanish-language channel is rarely enough. A Salvadoran family wants different news and football than a Cuban family in Miami or a Mexican family in Los Angeles.
Official and free options
If you mainly watch US Spanish-language networks, you have plenty of official choices.
- Univision, UniMás, Galavisión and TUDN, plus the ViX streaming app, which has a free tier with ads and a paid tier.
- Telemundo and Universo, with many shows and Spanish-language sports streaming on Peacock.
- ESPN Deportes and Fox Deportes for sports in Spanish.
- Spanish-language packages on live TV services such as Sling, Fubo, DirecTV and YouTube TV.
- A TV antenna for free local Univision, Telemundo and UniMás stations in many cities.
What TarakTV adds: channels from home
The gap most families notice is channels from their own country. TarakTV is an IPTV subscription that lists US Spanish-language networks alongside channels people commonly look for from Mexico, Central America, South America and the Caribbean, all in one guide.
That can mean morning shows and evening news from Mexico, a Colombian novela, a Honduran or Guatemalan news channel, Dominican entertainment or Argentine football, in the same app as your US local channels.
TarakTV is not licensed by or partnered with any broadcaster, and line-ups can change, so we do not promise a particular channel. Try the free 24-hour trial and check the channels from your country before choosing a plan.
Football: Liga MX, national teams and more
Liga MX is the most-watched football league among many Mexican American families. Its US rights are sold club by club, so games are spread across TelevisaUnivision channels and ViX and other partners, which makes it hard to follow every match of your club.
Fans also follow the Mexican national team, Central American leagues, Colombian and Argentine football, and European leagues in Spanish. The 2026 World Cup showed how big this audience is: the final drew 23.9 million viewers on Telemundo and Peacock alone.
Boxing is also popular, especially Mexican fighters. Our soccer and fight guides explain where each league and promotion lives on official TV.
Time zones and novelas
Mexico City no longer changes its clocks, so it is 1 hour behind New York in winter and 2 hours behind in summer. Bogotá and Lima are on US Eastern time in winter, and Buenos Aires and Santiago are 1 to 2 hours ahead.
Prime-time novelas from Mexico and Colombia often line up well with US evenings. For anything that airs while you are at work, catch-up on supported channels lets you start a programme from the beginning later. The guide follows your device's time zone.
Devices and internet
TarakTV runs on Fire TV Sticks, Android-based Smart TVs, phones and tablets with the Cast4K player app, and on TVIP and Yoka TV boxes, which we ship to the US and Canada. A box is a good gift for parents and grandparents because it starts straight into live TV.
Plan on about 15 Mbps per TV for HD and about 25 Mbps for 4K. On match day, plug the TV or box into the router with an Ethernet cable to avoid buffering.
- Make a favourites list for each country your family follows.
- Use catch-up for news and novelas you miss.
- Contact WhatsApp support with the channel name if something stops working.
- Plans: 1 month 15 dollars, 1 year 130 dollars, 3 years 220 dollars, 5 years 300 dollars.
