Go Latino TV
Go Latino TV is DISH Network’s dedicated TV service focused entirely on Latin American content.

Some channels you can enjoy from this platform include Galavision, Cinelatino, Fox Deportes, beIN Sport, and many more.
Hulu
Hulu is another streaming platform that can’t be ignored when it comes to Latin American movies and TV series. While its library isn’t as big as Netflix, it still offers a lot of content that makes your subscription really worth it. Plus, it’s more affordable than Netflix if you’re on a tight budget but still looking for a variety of content including Latin American films and shows.
fuboTV
fuboTV is a popular sports TV platform in the United States. However, it also offers a Latino service that offers over 60 Spanish channels ranging from sports and news to entertainment and telenovelas. fuboTV’s Latino plan costs $32.99 per month and that includes 250 cloud DVR, 2 simultaneous streaming (standard share), and premium sports channels like La Liga, Liga MX, UEFA Champions, and so much more.
