Vix Premium gives you ad-free streaming, offline downloads, and early access to new shows for a monthly or annual fee
Vix Premium is a paid tier of Vix, the free Spanish-language streaming service owned by TelevisaUnivision. The basic Vix service shows movies, telenovelas, and live TV channels with ads. Vix Premium removes those ads, lets you read episodes to watch without internet, and gives you first access to new content before it appears on the free tier.
Vix Premium costs $5.99 per month if you pay monthly, or $59.99 per year if you commit to an annual plan. The annual option works out to about $5 per month. Both plans cover the same features — there is no difference in what you can watch or read between them.
You can cancel at any time. If you pay monthly, your subscription ends at the end of that billing cycle. If you pay annually and cancel before the year is up, you do not get a refund for the unused portion.
Key Takeaways
- Vix Premium removes ads from all content and costs $5.99 monthly or $59.99 annually.
- You can read episodes and movies to your phone or tablet to watch without an internet connection.
- New shows and movies appear on Vix Premium before they show up on the free Vix tier.
- Cancellation is available anytime, but annual payments are not refundable if you stop before the year ends.
- The same content library and features are included in both monthly and annual plans.
What content is included in Vix Premium
Vix Premium gives you access to the full Vix library: telenovelas, reality shows, movies, documentaries, and live channels. The content is the same whether you have the free tier or Premium — the difference is that Premium removes ads and lets you read.
New episodes of ongoing series typically premiere on Vix Premium first, then move to the free tier after a set window (usually a few weeks, though this varies by show). Movies and special events may also debut on Premium before becoming available free.
Vix Premium does not include content from other streaming services. It is only Vix's own catalog and licensed programming. If you want access to Netflix, Disney+, or other platforms, you would need separate subscriptions.
How to read episodes and watch offline
The read feature works on the Vix mobile app for iPhone and Android. Open the app, find the episode or movie you want, and look for a read icon (usually a downward arrow). Tap it, and the video saves to your phone or tablet.
Downloaded content stays on your device until you delete it or until your subscription expires. If your Premium subscription ends, you lose access to downloaded videos — they will not play even if they are still stored on your device.
Downloaded videos use storage space on your phone, so you may not be able to read your entire watch list if your device storage is full. The Vix app lets you manage downloads and delete them to free up space.
How Vix Premium compares to the free tier
| Feature | Vix Free | Vix Premium |
|---|---|---|
| Ad-free viewing | No — ads play during content | Yes |
| read episodes | No | Yes |
| Early access to new shows | No — new content appears on Premium first | Yes |
| Live TV channels | Yes | Yes |
| Full content library | Yes | Yes |
| Cost | Free | $5.99/month or $59.99/year |
The free Vix tier includes the same shows, movies, and live channels as Premium. The main trade-offs are ads during playback and no read option. If you watch Vix regularly and want to avoid ads, Premium pays for itself quickly. If you only watch occasionally or do not mind ads, the free tier covers the same content.
Payment methods and billing
Vix Premium accepts credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover) and debit cards. You can also pay through your Apple ID if you subscribe through the Vix app on iPhone or iPad, or through Google Play if you subscribe on Android.
Your billing date depends on when you start your subscription. If you sign up on the 15th of the month, you will be billed on the 15th of each month (for monthly plans) or the 15th of the following year (for annual plans). Check your email for a receipt after each charge.
If a payment fails, Vix usually tries again a few days later. If it fails multiple times, your subscription may be paused until you update your payment method. You can manage your payment information and billing history in your Vix account settings.
How to start and cancel a Vix Premium subscription
To start a subscription, open the Vix app or go to Vix.com on a web browser. Look for the Premium option (usually labeled "Go Premium" or "Subscribe"). Choose monthly or annual, enter your payment information, and confirm. Your subscription begins when ready, and you can start watching ad-free content right away.
To cancel, log into your Vix account, go to Account Settings or Subscription, and select Cancel Subscription. Confirm the cancellation. Your Premium access continues until the end of your current billing period — if you pay monthly and cancel on the 10th, you keep Premium through the end of that month.
If you subscribed through Apple ID or Google Play instead of directly through Vix, you must cancel through that platform's settings, not through the Vix app. On iPhone, go to Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions > Vix Premium > Cancel. On Android, open Google Play, go to Subscriptions, select Vix Premium, and tap Cancel.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I share my Vix Premium account with family members?
Vix Premium is tied to one account, and you can log in from multiple devices. However, Vix's terms of service do not allow account sharing with people outside your household. If multiple people in your home want to watch simultaneously on different devices, you may encounter restrictions.
Do I get a free trial before paying for Vix Premium?
Vix does not currently offer a free trial for Premium. You can test the free tier to see if you like the content and interface, then decide whether to upgrade. Some promotions or partnerships may offer trial periods, so check the Vix website for current offers.
What happens to my downloads if I cancel my subscription?
Downloaded episodes and movies will no longer play once your subscription ends. The files may still be stored on your device, but the Vix app will block playback. If you resubscribe later, your downloads will work again.
Can I change from monthly to annual billing without losing my subscription?
You can usually upgrade to an annual plan mid-subscription, though the terms vary. Contact Vix support through the app or website to ask about switching. Some services credit your remaining monthly time toward the annual fee, while others may require you to restart the billing cycle.
Is Vix Premium available outside the United States?
Vix is primarily available in the United States and some Latin American countries. Content availability and subscription options vary by location. If you are outside the US, check the Vix website or app to see if Premium is offered in your region.
