MLB, TelevisaUnivision Expand Radio Deal

Major League Baseball and TelevisaUnivision are significantly expanding their collaboration on Spanish-language broadcasts, adding more than 30 live audio games to TUDN Radio’s national schedule from June 14 through July 19.

The deal includes on-site coverage from MLB All-Star Week in Philadelphia and marks the first time TUDN Radio will broadcast the Futures Game. It also incorporates the network’s daily MLB program “Desde el Diamante,” which features live game narrations, statistical analysis, player projections, and expert commentary.

TelevisaUnivision Sports Radio Vice President Carlos Azcarate led negotiations for the expanded agreement, which builds on the growing reach of TUDN Radio among Spanish-speaking baseball fans across the United States and Latin America.

“This partnership reflects our shared commitment to delivering high-quality, accessible baseball coverage to Hispanic audiences,” Azcarate said in a statement. The additional games will provide comprehensive play-by-play during a busy stretch of the MLB season leading into the All-Star break.

The expanded slate will place special emphasis on All-Star festivities in Philadelphia, delivering live reports, interviews, and game coverage directly from the event. Fans will also hear the Futures Game — featuring top prospects from around the world — on TUDN Radio for the first time, further strengthening the network’s role in showcasing baseball’s next generation of talent.

The radio expansion represents the latest chapter in a steadily growing relationship between MLB and TelevisaUnivision. Earlier this year, the network aired the World Baseball Classic in Mexico, bringing extensive coverage to one of baseball’s most passionate markets.

In the United States, the two organizations are in the final year of a broader media rights deal that includes select regular-season games and postseason matchups. That agreement notably features Spanish-language coverage of Game 1 of the World Series.

Industry observers view the new radio additions as a strategic move by MLB to deepen engagement with the fast-growing Hispanic fan base, which now accounts for a significant and increasing portion of league attendance and viewership.

TUDN Radio, available across multiple platforms including terrestrial stations, apps, and streaming services, has become a key destination for Spanish-speaking listeners seeking immersive baseball content. The addition of more than 30 live games during the heart of the summer schedule is expected to boost listenership substantially.

No financial terms of the expanded deal were disclosed. The full 2026 MLB season continues through September, with postseason play beginning in early October.
