The Roberto Clemente Professional Baseball League, known as La Pro, and TelevisaUnivision announced a three-year partnership on Oct. 21, 2026 to stream Puerto Rican winter baseball in the mainland United States on ViX, the company's Spanish-language streaming platform. The deal begins with the 2026-27 season, which opens Wednesday, Nov. 4, and runs through the 2028-29 season.
Coverage includes regular-season and postseason games, including the semifinal and final series, with Spanish-language play-by-play and commentary. All six participating franchises will appear on the platform: Cangrejeros de Santurce, Leones de Ponce, Gigantes de Carolina, Criollos de Caguas, Indios de Mayagüez and Senadores de San Juan. Full game schedules will be available on TUDN.com.
The stated goal of the agreement is to bring La Pro closer to the more than 6 million Puerto Ricans living stateside, a diaspora the league describes as keeping its passion for the island's professional baseball alive. Fans can watch on the ViX app, available on iOS and Android devices, smart TVs, and streaming devices, or online at ViX.com.
League president Juan A. Flores Galarza framed the deal as a growth step for the circuit. He said the partnership represents an important step in the growth and reach of the league and gives Puerto Ricans in the United States a way to keep enjoying the island's professional baseball, its teams and a tradition that is part of the identity of its people.
Marco Liceaga, senior vice president of sports rights acquisitions and commercial partnerships at TelevisaUnivision, said baseball is a fundamental part of the cultural identity of millions of Puerto Ricans on and off the island. He added that bringing La Pro to ViX lets stateside fans stay connected to their roots all season long, from opening day through the final series.
The deal also raises the profile of Puerto Rico's players, franchises and baseball tradition with a broader audience, according to the announcement, while strengthening winter baseball's place in TelevisaUnivision's sports lineup. The league has developed generations of Puerto Rico's baseball talent, per the company.
For the league, the agreement marks a significant step in efforts to expand its presence in the U.S. market. For TelevisaUnivision, it adds a winter baseball property to a streaming slate that already carries Liga MX, UEFA and MLB postseason content, based on the company's recent programming announcements.
The 2026-27 season opens Nov. 4 with all six franchises competing for the Puerto Rican professional baseball championship. What the deal does not specify is how many games per week will stream, whether any games will also air on linear television, or the financial terms of the agreement.
Why it matters
More than 6 million Puerto Ricans live stateside, and this deal gives them a single Spanish-language streaming home for an entire winter league season, from opening day through the championship final. It also signals that TelevisaUnivision sees winter baseball as a growth property for ViX alongside soccer.
Builder angle
A three-season streaming commitment is a stable window for building fan products around a diaspora audience: schedule-aware push notifications, Spanish-language highlights, or second-screen experiences tied to La Pro's six franchises. The open questions in the announcement, like game cadence and linear TV overlap, are exactly the gaps a builder could fill with a schedule and alerts layer on top of TUDN.com listings.
