How to Watch TV in Spanish Without Cable – Go Online!
Watching TV in Spanish without cable is easier today than ever before, mostly thanks to the wide array of over-the-top (OTT) platforms that one can choose from.
Whether you're simply trying to watch TV in your native language, or you're trying to learn the language and know that the best way to do so is to constantly be exposed to it, it doesn't really matter. All that it matters is that you have loads of options ahead of you.

2. Sling TV
Another great place to find channels in Spanish is Sling TV. Things are a bit complicated here, since there are quite a few channel bundles available.
First, there's the regular Sling version, which features 3 starter bundles. Orange costs $25 per month, Blue costs $25 per month, while Orange + Blue costs $40 per month. The extra channel packs are $5 per month, although Sports Extra does cost $10 per month for Blue and Orange + Blue subscribers. While you may not find channels in Spanish here, you will elsewhere.

3. Hulu
Next is Hulu, which is better known for the video-on-demand service it offers. There are quite a few things you can watch here for $39.99 per month and there's some customization you can bring to the bundle, but Telemundo is the only channel in Spanish featured on Hulu. Recently, however, the platform added a couple of new channel packs, including Espanol Add-on. This pack costs $4.99 per month and includes several Spanish-language channels - CNN en Espanol, ESPN Deportes, History en Espanol, and NBC Universo. It's not much, but it's a huge step forward. Check out our Hulu review for more info about this OTT.
4. YouTube TV
YouTube TV is also up next, which is a rather odd service since it only has one bundle of channels to offer for $40 per month. There's a little customization you can do on this platform, but for what's most important it takes a "take it or leave it" attitude. On the list of channels available on YouTube TV, you can find Telemundo and Universo. Of course, YouTube TV is only present in certain metro areas, so you should check our YouTube TV review to see if you even live in a covered area, or how to bypass this situation.
5. PlayStation Vue
Next up we have Sony's PlayStation Vue, which is a great platform with four starter bundles - Access ($44.99/mo), Core ($49.99/mo), Elite ($59.99/mo), and Ultra ($79.99/mo). There are several channels in Spanish on PlayStation Vue, so let's see how they're spread out.
Access: Telemundo
Core: Same as above
Elite: Same as above, plus ESPN Deportes and FOX Deportes
Ultra: All of the above.
There are also some extra channels in Spanish in the Espanol Pack, which costs $4.99 per month, or $3.99 per month for PlayStation Plus members. The pack contains the following channels: BabyTV, Cine Sony, CNN Espanol, Discovery en Espanol, Discovery Familia, FOX Deportes, FOX Life, Nat Geo Mundo, and Universo.
