NEW YORK, June 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Verizon and TelevisaUnivision, the world’s leading Spanish-language media and content company, today announced a newly expanded partnership with Verizon and ViX, TelevisaUnivision’s global streaming service. Starting June 20, new Verizon myPlan and Home Internet customers can get access to 12 months of ViX Premium, on us – amounting to over $80 in savings. With this offer, customers will get access to over 17,000 hours of premium original series, movies and live sports – featuring an unmatched soccer portfolio that includes Liga MX, LigaMX Femenil and UEFA Champions League, in addition to the full library of Spanish-language content available on ViX, including news, novelas, comedies, dramas and more.

This special deal launches just in time for customers to experience all of TelevisaUnivision’s coverage of the biggest soccer tournaments this summer: CONMEBOL Copa America 2024, starting June 20, and UEFA Euro 2024, which begins June 14, culminating with back-to-back championship title games on July 14.

Additionally, Verizon and ViX’s partnership will extend to experiential activations for Verizon customers and employees, including exclusive access to tentpole events, talent meet and greets, ViX Originals screenings, and other giveaways. This deal with TelevisaUnivision and ViX builds on Verizon’s portfolio of partnerships and services engaging Latino consumers, including ongoing relationships with LALIGA North America and Alianza de Futbol. Earlier this year, Verizon was one of the only brands to develop Spanish-language advertising exclusively for the Univision broadcast of Super Bowl LVIII as part of a year-long partnership with J Balvin. In addition, Verizon helps keep customers connected to loved ones in Latin America with great deals on international calling plans and through a partnership with Nova Credit, Verizon recognizes international credit history – making it even easier to access the best plans and devices on America’s most reliable 5G network.

“We’re happy to expand our partnership with Verizon, expanding the reach of our industry-leading Spanish-language content,” said Adam Waltuch, EVP of Global Distributions and Partnerships at TelevisaUnivision. “We share in their commitment to provide in-language content to consumers across the country, and this deal meets the needs of the growing Spanish-speaking audience.”

“Verizon is committed to keeping our customers connected to the people, places and passions that they love,” said Angie Klein, Senior Vice President, Growth Marketing & Content at Verizon. “ViX Premium provides the US Latino audience with an unprecedented portfolio of original and live Spanish-language content, and this partnership with TelevisaUnivision is a meaningful opportunity for Verizon to deliver the content and exclusive experiences our customers want.”
