For the 2022–23 and 2023-24 seasons, Premier League Productions, in conjunction with production partnerTelemundo Deportes, employed Latin American Spanish-languageseñal internacional ("world feed") match commentators working "off tube" (off monitor) fromTelemundo Center in Miami, Florida, USA or from Telemundo's Mexico City, Mexico bureau. Their voices were heard each week via streaming video servicesParamount+ andPluto TV in Mexico and Central America, and occasionally via streaming video serviceStar+ in 9 Spanish-speaking countries in South America. YouTube users in the USA were also able to listen to their voices in highlights clips at the "Telemundo Deportes" account.
For the 2024-25 season, Premier League Productions has ordered Latin American Spanish-language world feed commentary for up to 4 matches each match week and will continue to rely on production partner Telemundo Deportes to produce Spanish-language world feed commentary from Telemundo Center in Miami or from Telemundo's Mexico City bureau. Premier League Productions is offering Spanish-language world feed commentary to rightsholders OUTSIDE the Americas and Spain (such asOptus Sport in Australia) where significant immigrant populations from Spanish-speaking Latin America exist.TNT Sports Mexico will also use Spanish-language world feed commentary if it were to broadcast 5 or more matches on a single calendar day. Note that other rightsholders in Spanish-speaking Latin America (includingESPN South America andFox Sports Mexico) are NOT using Spanish-language world feed commentary during the 2024-25 season.
