Spanish-language broadcast team (Discontinued)[edit]

For the 2022–23 and 2023-24 seasons, Premier League Productions, in conjunction with production partner Telemundo Deportes, employed Spanish-language señal internacional ("world feed") match commentators working "off tube" (off monitor) from Telemundo Center in Miami, Florida, USA or from Telemundo's Mexico City, Mexico bureau. Their voices were be heard each week via streaming video services Paramount+ and Pluto TV in Mexico and Central America, and occasionally via streaming video service Star+ in 9 Spanish-speaking countries in South America. YouTube users in the USA were also able to listen to their voices in highlights clips at the "Telemundo Deportes" account.

With Paramount+ exiting its media rights agreement in Mexico, Central America and the Dominican Republic for the Premier League after the 2023-2024 season, Premier League Productions will NOT need to employ a Spanish-language commentary team for the 2024-2025 season. New media rightsholder ESPN Latin America will assign its own Spanish-language commentators in Mexico City (for matches involving Fulham and West Ham United featuring Mexican players Edson Álvarez and Raúl Jiménez) or Buenos Aires (for most other matches.)
