Univision is the largest Spanish-language television network in the United States and home to popular shows like Quién es la Máscara (similar to The Masked Singer), Despierta América, a famous talk show, Amanecer, a primetime drama with 1.5 million viewers, and Sábado Gigante, one of the longest-running TV shows in history (1962-2015).
While many traditional TV packages already include Univision in their channel lineups, cord-cutters need to shell out extra to watch the network. ViX, Univision’s official streaming platform, starts at $5.99/month. However, we’ve found a sneaky way to watch Univision for free: the 21-day YouTube TV free trial, which includes the channel.
How to watch Univision for free
Set your VPN back to your usual US location and you’ll find that you can sign up to YouTube TV’s free trial (be sure to add Univision to the free trial offer).
A word of warning: You’ll need a strong VPN (not a cheap/free one). We tested the likes of NordVPN (try risk-free), Surfshark VPN (free trial) and Express VPN – all do the trick.
Use a VPN to access YouTube TV from abroad
We also find Nord works best for streaming – allowing you to access your domestic streaming services when abroad.
You can sign up in minutes and start watching Univision free…
Quick start: Using a VPN to watch Univision free
Once you’ve signed up with your VPN:
1. Open the NordVPN app.
2. Connect to a server based in USA (New York, etc).
3. Fire up YouTube TV. If that doesn’t work, try it in Google Chrome’s Incognito mode and you should be off to the races.
4. Add Univision to your YouTube TV free trial. You should be able to search for your favorite shows and add the specific show to your trial.
