Telemundo’s exclusive presentation of Super Bowl LVI registered historic milestones for Spanish-language television. The Los Angeles Rams’ 23-20 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals was the first Super Bowl to air on a Spanish-language broadcast network and the most-watched NFL game in Spanish-language history, delivering a record-setting average of 1.9 million total viewers. The simulcast on Telemundo and Universo ranks as the highest-rated Spanish-language non-soccer sporting event of the decade.
“Super Bowl 56 posts yet another historic achievement for our network and in Spanish-language television, delivering an unprecedented Latino audience that exceeded all expectations. We are committed to offering the highest quality, most authentic coverage of the biggest and best sports programming in Spanish-language media, and Super Bowl is the beginning of a historic year for Telemundo to be capped with the FIFA World Cup in Qatar at the end of the year,” said Ray Warren, president, Telemundo Deportes.
