7 Best Services to Watch Telemundo Local Channels Without Cable

Founded in 1984, Telemundo is one of the biggest networks to broadcast news, sports, telenovelas, and educational programs for Hispanic and Spanish-speaking viewers in the United States. With 28 stations encompassing several states, it also has one of the widest coverage of local Spanish stations, penetrating up to 57 percent of all households in the country. 

Thanks to its ubiquity, it's always been easy to access the local Telemundo on TV, and though more people are going cordless nowadays, the same still holds true for streaming. If you don't have a cable connection or an antenna, the best services to tune into for Telemundo local viewing are YouTube TV, DirecTV Stream, and Fubo. All three live TV streaming services offer different tiers that can accommodate different budgets, but we've made sure to only include the plans that carry local Telemundo channels.

You can check whether the network has a station set up in your area and read more about the available services in the list below. 

Our recommended three best services to watch telemundo local channels without cable:
DirecTV Stream $86.99 Watch
Fubo $79.99 Watch
YouTube TV $82.99 Watch

DirecTV Stream is a Live TV streaming platform with a twist: you can download the app on any of your existing devices, or for a $120, you can get a box with a custom remote control for the service. But without the box, DirecTV Stream functions like a Netflix or Hulu, allowing you to stream Live TV from anywhere by downloading the app. Within your home, you can stream on up to 20 devices (!), and from outside your home you can stream on up to three devices.

If you enjoy using the DVR option, Youtube TV is arguably the best option in the market for you: it gives you unlimited DVR storage on the Cloud (accessible from any of your devices), and it saves each of your recordings for 9 months. Also, you can share Youtube TV with up to six accounts, so if you have a big family, this is a much better option than getting a bunch of cheaper Live TV subscriptions. Youtube TV allows up to three accounts of the six to watch at the same time.
