Summary

We compared the main Spanish streaming apps available in the US, from services like FlixLatino, ViX and Canela.TV, to the Telemundo and Netflix catalogs. The short version: if you want movies and series made in Spanish instead of dubbed, one app is built for exactly that. Below is the full breakdown, with prices, best-for notes, and what to watch first.

The best Spanish streaming apps in the US right now are FlixLatino for premium movies and series made in Spanish, ViX for the largest free catalog, and Peacock for Telemundo fans. But here is the part most comparisons skip: a Spanish app is not the same as an app with Spanish in it. Dubbed Hollywood is not the same as films and series shot in Bogotá, Madrid, or Mexico City.

Below we break down every option worth knowing, what each one is actually good for, and where to find content that was made in Spanish from the start.

How We Compared These Apps

We ranked these apps on the things that matter to a Spanish-speaking household: whether the catalog is made in Spanish or dubbed, how much content there is, price, free access, device support, and variety by country of origin. We did not bump a service up just for having a big name. 

FlixLatino comes out on top for one specific reason we explain below, and every other pick is matched to who it fits best.

Quick Comparison: Spanish Streaming Apps at a Glance

Prices are current as of 2026 and subject to updates. Review the comparison table below for a quick overview, followed by detailed breakdowns explaining our selections.

Platform Free tier Starting price Content type Best for
FlixLatino 7-day trial $4.99/mo Made in Spanish, curated premium Movies and series made in Spanish, sorted by country
ViX Yes Free, Premium from ~$6.99/mo Mixed: originals, dubbed, live Mexican and Univision fans who want live sports
Canela.TV Yes Free Mixed, telenovelas, FAST channels A free, familiar option
Netflix No $8.99/mo with ads Mostly non-Spanish, some Latin originals Multi-language households
Peacock No $8.99/mo (Select) US content plus Telemundo Telemundo fans
Pluto TV Yes Free Live channels plus on-demand Casual, no-cost viewing

ViX: The Biggest Free Spanish Catalog, Mexican-Centric

ViX is the volume play. It pulls from Televisa/Univision, so the catalog leans heavily Mexican, and it absorbed the old Pantaya library back in 2022, which is why some former Pantaya titles now live here.

The free tier, ViX Gratis, gives you a large ad-supported library plus more than 100 live channels, and live sports like Liga MX and UEFA Champions League sit on ViX Premium. Premium starts around $6.99 a month with ads and runs about $8.99 a month ad-free, and you can add it inside YouTube TV or Amazon Prime Video.

The trade-offs: the experience is built for free viewers first, so paying subscribers get pushed through the same ad-heavy funnel, and the catalog skews Mexican and Univision-made, with less from Argentina, Spain, or the Caribbean.

Note that ViX does not carry the live Univision broadcast channel itself; for that you need a separate Univision NOW subscription. Best for viewers of Mexican origin, or anyone who wants free Spanish content with live soccer attached.

Canela.TV: Free, With a Catch

Canela.TV is free and ad-supported, and it leans on classic telenovelas like El Clon, older Turkish series, and FAST-style live channels you can drop into like regular TV. The catch is quality. A lot of the library is dubbed Hollywood and lower-tier content mixed in with the good stuff, and the live programming is loosely organized. It works as a free starting point or a second app, not as your main source for premium content.

Netflix: A Massive, Multi-Language Collection with Hard-to-Find Spanish Gems

Netflix has plenty of Spanish shows, including Latin originals like Money Heist (La Casa de Papel) and Elite, plus a broad Spanish-language section. The problem is finding it: Spanish content is a small slice of an enormous library, and most of the platform is built for English-first viewing.

Netflix pricing runs from $8.99 a month with ads up to $26.99 for Premium. Best for households that watch in more than one language and do not want to manage multiple subscriptions.

Peacock, Hulu, and HBO Max: Spanish as a Side Section

These are US-English platforms with a Spanish corner, not dedicated Spanish apps. Peacock carries Telemundo programming, NBCUniversal's Spanish-language content, and live World Cup coverage in Spanish, with plans starting around $7.99 a month.

Hulu and HBO Max each hold a handful of Spanish and Latin American titles, but on all three the Spanish catalog is an afterthought next to the English lineup. Fine if you already pay for one, weak if Spanish content is your reason to subscribe.

Free and Live TV: Pluto TV, Tubi, and Spanish Channels

If your goal is zero cost, Pluto TV and Tubi both offer Spanish channels and on-demand content supported by ads. Expect older titles, B-list productions, and dubbed films, with quality all over the map. They are good supplements, not a primary service.

If you specifically want live and local channels with a proper DVR, a live TV bundle such as YouTube TV carries some Spanish channels and unlimited DVR, though it costs far more than a dedicated app and is built around English networks.

What About Spain's Own Apps? AtresPlayer, RTVE Play, and VPNs

Spain has its own streamers, and people ask about them constantly. AtresPlayer (from Atresmedia) and RTVE Play stream Spain's networks, but both are geo-blocked to Spain, so from the US you hit a wall unless you route through a VPN, which usually breaks the app's terms and gets flaky fast. 

The cleaner path is an app that already holds premium Spanish cinema legally in the US. That is exactly the lane FlixLatino sits in, no workaround required.

FlixLatino: Best for Premium, Made-in-Spanish Content

Here is the honest version. Most Spanish catalogs are padded with dubbed Hollywood and direct-to-streaming filler. FlixLatino is the opposite: every title is made in Spanish from the start, with no dubbing. The one exception is Turkish series, which come dubbed into Spanish because that is how the audience wants them.

The catalog is curated instead of dumped. These are theatrical releases from across Latin America, Spain, and Turkey, meaning films that actually opened in cinemas in their home country. It adds up to more than 4,000 hours of movies, series, and documentaries, spanning every Spanish-speaking country from Mexico and Colombia to Argentina, Spain, the Dominican Republic, and the rest of South America (Sudamérica).

If you want to browse by where a film comes from, you can discover titles by country in a couple of taps, or jump straight to the best Spanish films, Mexican movies, or Colombian films.

There are two paid plans. FlixLatino Basic runs $4.99 a month or $44.99 a year, and FlixLatino Premium runs $5.99 a month or $53.99 a year (25% OFF). Both come with a 7-day free trial, and you can watch on web, iOS, Android, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, Samsung, Vizio, Apple TV, and Google TV. 

FlixLatino is also available through Amazon Prime Video Subscriptions and The Roku Channel, so you can add it inside apps you already use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Spanish streaming app is the cheapest?

+

Among dedicated premium apps, FlixLatino Basic is the cheapest at $4.99 a month, with a 7-day free trial. If you want zero cost and do not mind ads, ViX Gratis, Canela.TV, and Pluto TV are free, though their catalogs lean on dubbed or Mexican-centric content.

Can I watch Spanish streaming apps on Apple TV, Roku, or Fire TV?

+

Yes. FlixLatino works on web, iOS, Android, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, Samsung, Vizio, Apple TV, and Google TV, and it is also available through Amazon Prime Video Subscriptions and The Roku Channel. Most other apps here support the same major devices.

What is the difference between a free (AVOD) app and a subscription (SVOD) app?

+

A free, ad-supported app (AVOD) costs nothing but shows ads and usually carries lower-tier or dubbed content. A subscription app (SVOD) charges a monthly fee, drops the ads on its own titles, and tends to offer a more curated, premium catalog. FlixLatino is subscription-first, with a free trial so you can test it.

Can I use these apps if I travel outside the US?

+

It depends on the app's licensing. FlixLatino is available in the United States and Puerto Rico, and Spain's own apps like RTVE Play are limited to Spain. Access can change when you cross borders, so check availability before you rely on a service abroad.

Do these apps offer live TV or only on-demand content?

+

Both, depending on the app. FlixLatino offers FAST channels alongside its premium on-demand movies and series, so you can flip on a channel or pick a title to start anytime. ViX Gratis, Canela.TV, and Pluto TV also mix live and FAST channels with on-demand content, though live sports and broadcast networks usually sit behind a premium tier or a separate live TV service.
