TUDN (American TV channel)

TUDN (pronounced tu-de-ene; formerly called Univision Deportes Network) is a Mexican-American Spanish language sports channel.

[4] In May 2011, Univision Communications announced three new cable television channels to strengthen its position in the Latino market and diversify revenues, including one dedicated to soccer and other sports.

[1][11][12] TUDN is a multi-platform brand, and has a closer collaboration between the American and Mexican channels, allowing for expanded studio programming in the morning and daytime hours (to bolster its expansion into European soccer with its recent acquisition of UEFA rights, and existing content such as Liga MX soccer).

[13] On August 23, 2024, it was reported that TUDN had closed its Miami offices and laid off all staff, as part of cutbacks prompted by the loss of broadcasting rights with key clubs such as Tigres and Chivas.

[14][15][16][17] The network's signature program is Univision Deportes Fútbol Club, an hour-long sports update show hosted by Xavi Sol (as of late 2017) alongside Félix Fernández and Hristo Stoichkov.

The two editions of Fútbol Club differed by tone and style, with the early evening version being more lighthearted and comedic, while the late night version consisted of a round table discussion regarding the day's action (similar in format to ESPN's Around the Horn).

[18][20] The weekly Saturday night program – Fútbol Central hosted by Edgar Martinez – features soccer highlights and previews matches from the Mexican league.

[29][30][31][32] This did not affect DirecTV Customers (although being a subsidiary of U-Verse's parent company, AT&T), as this was done in a different contract.
