ESPN has secured English Premier League broadcasting right in South America and the Caribbean through 2028, extending its dominance in LATAM for three more seasons (2025-28) - according to SportBusiness
The deal covers 10 major South American markets, including Brazil, Argentina, and Chile, and solidifies Caribbean coverage after Verticast exited their deal a year early.
As Paramount Global retreats in Mexico and Central America, due to downsizing and passing rights to Fox Sports and Warner Bros. Discovery, and Verticast’s collapse in the Caribbean, these moves underscore ESPN’s commitment and opportunity in the region.

- Lisandro Martinez (Man Utd)
- Enzo Fernandez (Chelsea)
- Alexis Mac Allister (Liverpool)
