  • How to stream NBC Universo

    Sling TV

    Sling TV has become hugely popular in recent times, and to get the NBC network, you need to subscribe to Sling Blue. However, you will need the Latino add-on for it to offer Universo.

    You can opt-in for the Sling Best of Spanish TV package for just $10 per month, without the need for Sling Blue or Orange, providing the most cost-effective option among all the packages. It will give you 20 channels, including a small amount of other Spanish-language sports.

    However, if you wish to add Sling Blue or Sling Orange to your package, you can do so for $40 per month, while both are priced at $55 per month, on top of the $10 you would need to pay to get Universo.

    This will open up many more sports, including the English Football League, Spanish La Liga and the German Bundesliga.

    Investing in a DirecTV stream is an excellent way to not only watch Universo, but a host of other channels and soccer games too.

    Priced at $54.99 per month, for the Latino package, you will gain access to over 100 channels in English and Spanish, alongside 17 different leagues across 14 different countries.

    There are other packages available, which provide you with Universo as well as even more channels. The basic English package, which will give you a range of NBC channels, is priced at $64.99 per month, while the Ultimate and Premier offerings, take your sports viewing to even higher levels, but they will also cost you $109.99 and $154.99 per month. However, with these packages, you will be able to watch UEFA Champions League action too.

    fuboTV also has a Latino package, priced at a reasonable $32.99 per month. Again, this includes Universo as a streaming service, as well as many other sports channels in the Spanish language, such as beIN Sports, Univision and ESPN Deportes.

    There are also other packages out there, but you will not receive as many Latino channels without adding them as an optional extra.

    If you're after a wealth of live coverage from around the world and are happy with English language content, the Pro package is certainly worth considering at $74.99 per month. You'll be able to enjoy more Premier League action across the more comprehensive NBC network, as well as leagues like La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A and the UEFA Champions League.

  • The Bottom Line & FAQs

    Copa de Campeones Concacaf 2024@CONCACAFWatch live soccer on TV

    Your best option to get NBC Universo is by getting your cable subscription separately through Sling TV. It'll cost you just $10 per month, and provide you with 20 channels, including a number of other sports ones.

    However, you can build on that, with the scope to add more for a further $40 per month, therefore still coming in cheaper than the likes of FuboTV and DirecTV. That said, they offer a much larger range of sports, so it's all dependent on how much, and in what language, you want to consume soccer across the season.
