What Univision Now Is

Univision Now is a streaming service owned by Univision that lets you watch Spanish-language television channels, movies, and shows on demand. You can watch live broadcasts of Univision's main channel and cable channels like Galavisión, Univision Deportes, and others depending on which plan you choose. The service works on phones, tablets, computers, and streaming devices like Roku and Amazon Fire TV.

Unlike traditional cable, you do not need a cable subscription or a satellite dish. You pay a monthly fee directly to Univision and stream through the internet. The service includes both live TV and a library of on-demand content — shows, movies, and sports — that you can watch whenever you want.

Key Takeaways

  • Univision Now offers live Spanish-language channels and on-demand content for a monthly subscription fee.
  • The service works on most phones, tablets, computers, and streaming devices without requiring cable or satellite service.
  • You can watch on multiple devices, though the number of simultaneous streams varies by plan.
  • You sign up through the Univision Now website or app and can cancel anytime without a contract.

Univision Now Plans and Pricing

Univision Now offers two main plans. The exact price and channel lineup can change, so check the Univision Now website for current details. One plan includes the main Univision channel plus some additional content, and a higher-tier plan adds more cable channels and features.

Both plans let you watch on your phone, tablet, or computer. The higher plan typically allows you to stream on more devices at the same time. Neither plan includes a long-term contract — you pay month to month and can stop anytime.

Some promotional offers may be available for new subscribers, such as a discounted first month. These offers change regularly, so the best way to see what is currently available is to visit the Univision Now website directly.

How to Sign Up for Univision Now

You can sign up on the Univision Now website or through the Univision Now app, which you can read from the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or your streaming device's app store. Go to the website or open the app, select the plan you want, and enter your email address and payment information.

You will need a valid payment method — a credit card, debit card, or sometimes a digital wallet like Apple Pay or Google Pay. After you complete the sign-up, your subscription starts right away and you can begin watching when ready.

If you sign up through a third-party app store (like Apple or Google), the payment may be processed through that store instead of directly through Univision. This can affect how you manage your subscription and billing.

What Devices You Can Use

Univision Now works on most common devices. You can watch on iPhones and iPads, Android phones and tablets, computers running Windows or Mac, and streaming devices including Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and Chromecast. The app is also available on some smart TVs.

The number of devices you can stream on at the same time depends on your plan. Check your plan details to see whether you can watch on one device, two devices, or more simultaneously. If you exceed the limit, you will get a message asking you to stop watching on another device.

Managing Your Subscription and Billing

Your subscription renews automatically each month on the date you signed up. The charge appears on the payment method you provided during sign-up. You can view your billing history and manage your payment method by logging into your Univision Now account on the website.

If you want to change your plan — for example, upgrade to a plan with more channels — you can do that in your account settings. The change usually takes effect when ready or at your next billing date, depending on how Univision processes it.

To stop your subscription, log into your account and look for a cancel or manage subscription option. You will not be charged again after you cancel, though you may lose access to the service right away or at the end of your current billing period depending on when you cancel.

Content and Channel Lineup

Univision Now includes live broadcasts of Univision's main channel, which carries news, telenovelas (Spanish-language dramas), variety shows, and sports. Depending on your plan, you also get access to cable channels like Galavisión, Univision Deportes, and others that focus on sports, entertainment, and news.

Beyond live TV, the service includes an on-demand library where you can watch past episodes of shows, movies, and special content. The exact titles and how far back the library goes can vary. You can browse the library through the app or website to see what is currently available.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you cannot log in, first check that you are using the correct email and password. If you forgot your password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page to reset it. Make sure you are using the email address you signed up with, as it is case-sensitive on some devices.

If the app crashes or will not load, try closing it completely and reopening it. If that does not work, uninstall the app and read it again from your device's app store. For streaming devices, restart the device itself by unplugging it for a few seconds and plugging it back in.

If you are having trouble with buffering or video quality, check your internet connection. Univision Now requires a stable connection — ideally at least 5 Mbps for HD quality. If you are on Wi-Fi, try moving closer to your router or restarting it. If problems continue, contact Univision Now support through the app or website.
