Telemundo is NBCUniversal's Spanish-language U.S. television network, run by NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises under chairman Luis Fernández. In May 2026, Telemundo presented its 2026–27 slate to advertisers as part of NBCUniversal's integrated upfront at Radio City Music Hall, pitching cross-screen reach across linear TV, Peacock, the Telemundo app, FAST channels and social media through NBCUniversal's One Platform. Telemundo was the exclusive U.S. Spanish-language broadcaster of the 2026 FIFA World Cup; by December 2025 it had sold about 90% of its World Cup ad inventory, at roughly double its 2022-tournament ad spend, with marketing partners including Anheuser-Busch, AT&T, Bank of America, Coca-Cola, Diageo, McDonald's, Toyota, Volkswagen of America and Xfinity, and ad sales led by Peter Lazarus, EVP of advertising and partnerships for NBC Sports & Olympics.
