Univision Deportes Radio is a Spanish-language sports radio network in the United States under the division of Univision Deportes, owned by Univision Communications and is a companion to the current Univision Deportes Network. It launched on March 15, 2017 on ten AM and FM radio stations, most of which previously affiliated with the ill-fated Univision America until its 2015 closure. The network features stations in the states of Arizona, California, Texas, Illinois, Nevada, New York and Florida, covering half of the country's Hispanic population.
While its main focus is on soccer (much like its TV counterparts Univision Deportes, Univision and UniMás, and digital brands), Univision Deportes Radio competes against ESPN Deportes Radio, owned by ESPN Inc., which has 40 stations in 14 states. No programming has been announced at this time.
At the launch of the network, its programming lineup consists of mainly radio versions of select Univision Deportes Network shows, such as Locura Deportiva (which was originally broadcast on Univision América) Contacto Deportivo and Fútbol Club as well as original programming including Buenos Días América, El Tiradero and Tribuna Interactiva.
