Coming this summer to TelevisaUnivision: La Radio del Mundial, as the Spanish-language radio operator partners with Fútbol de Primera to carry live, play-by-play FIFA World Cup 2026 coverage across nine of its flagship AM/FM stations in New York, Houston, Dallas, and Chicago, running June 11 through July 19.
FDP has held exclusive U.S. Spanish-language radio rights to the tournament since 2002.
Under the new agreement, TelevisaUnivision’s terrestrial stations in the four markets will serve as the official local home for FDP’s broadcasts of every match. Coverage will air across La X (WYNX) and La Qué Buena (WADO-AM) in New York; Amor (KOVE) and Latino Mix (KAMA) in Houston; La Qué Buena (KLNO) and Latino Mix (KDXX, 107.9 FM and 107.1 FM) in Dallas; and La Qué Buena (WOJO) and Latino Mix (WVIV) in Chicago.
“The 2026 World Cup on North American soil is an unprecedented cultural and sporting event for our community,” said TelevisaUnivision SVP of Radio Content Ismar Santacruz. “TelevisaUnivision is the heartbeat of Hispanic audio in the U.S., and by partnering with Fútbol de Primera, we are ensuring that passionate soccer fans in New York, Dallas, Houston, and Chicago won’t miss a single goal, save, or historic moment.”
Fútbol de Primera Chairman Alejandro Gutman called the tournament’s North American setting a unique opportunity. “With matches happening right here in our own backyards, the energy will be unmatched,” he said. “Together, we are committed to delivering the most authentic and immersive radio broadcast experience for the millions of Hispanic fans eagerly awaiting this tournament.”
