Spanish-language broadcast team

Beginning with the 2022–23 season, Premier League Productions, in conjunction with production partner Telemundo Deportes, will employ Spanish-language señal internacional ("world feed") match commentators, most of whom will work "off tube" (off monitor) from Telemundo Center in Miami, Florida, USA or from Telemundo's Mexico City, Mexico bureau. Their voices will 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 can also listen to their voices in highlights clips at the "Telemundo Deportes" account.
