ESPN announced two Spanish-language telecasts for Super Bowl LXI.

ESPN revealed an agreement with TelevisaUnivision to broadcast next year's Super Bowl on Feb. 14. ESPN Deportes will also produce a separate Spanish broadcast of the Big Game, with the English telecast airing on ESPN and ABC.

"We're pleased to collaborate with TelevisaUnivision to expand access to Super Bowl LXI for Spanish-speaking fans across the U.S.," Oscar Ramos, vice president of digital content and ESPN Deportes, said in a press release. "ESPN Deportes has a long history of serving NFL fans in the Hispanic community, and presenting Super Bowl LXI through multiple Spanish-language telecasts builds on that commitment."

Eleven years ago, FOX Deportes became the first network to broadcast the Super Bowl in Spanish in the United States. The Super Bowl has been televised in Spanish every year since.

Telemundo averaged 3.3 million viewers for Super Bowl 60, setting a record for the most-watched Spanish-language Super Bowl broadcast. In total, nearly 125 million average viewers saw the Seattle Seahawks defeat the New England Patriots across all platforms, including NBC and Peacock.

This season marks the first time ESPN will broadcast a Super Bowl. Joe Buck and Troy Aikman will call the action on the English feed, but Spanish-speaking fans have two different options.

"Hispanic audiences bring an unmatched energy and passion to the sports they love, and their fandom for the NFL has grown significantly," said Olek Loewenstein, president of sports at TelevisaUnivision. "We’re excited to be teaming up with ESPN to deliver the Super Bowl to Hispanic America — elevating the viewing experience with coverage that connects, in-culture and in-language."
