Galavisión has been part of Spanish-language television in the U.S. for nearly half a century. Launched in 1979 as the country’s first Spanish-language cable network, it’s now owned by TelevisaUnivision and serves as a companion to sister networks like Univision, UniMás, and TUDN.
Its schedule is a bit of a grab bag, and that’s part of the appeal. Galavisión mixes telenovelas, comedy, sports, and news rather than sticking to a single genre, making it the kind of channel you might visit for a familiar Televisa series one night and live sports another.
The bigger question is how to get it. Unlike Univision, Galavisión is a cable network, so you generally won’t pick it up with an antenna. But its distribution has expanded over the years, including its 2025 arrival on Hulu + Live TV’s core lineup. Below, I’ll sort through the current cable, satellite, and streaming options so you can find the easiest way to tune in.
What channel is Galavisión on near me?
Galavisión’s channel number changes depending on your provider and where you live. DIRECTV makes things relatively easy by carrying Galavisión on channel 404 nationwide, but cable providers such as Xfinity and Spectrum use different channel assignments from one market to another.
That’s why the city-specific table below will be more useful than memorizing a single number. Check the table for your city, then use your zip code to confirm your local lineup, especially if your provider offers separate Spanish-language packages or channel tiers. Galavisión may be included in your base lineup in one market but require a different package somewhere else.

What’s on Galavisión?
Galavisión leans heavily into Spanish-language comedy and entertainment, making it a good stop when you’re in the mood for something lighter. Here’s a quick look at what its programming includes.
- Comedy and sitcoms: Familiar Mexican series such as “Vecinos,” “40 y 20,” “El Chavo,” and “La familia P. Luche.”
- Telenovelas and entertainment: A rotating mix of Televisa series, reality shows, variety programming, and other entertainment.
- Sports and special events: Select live sports and TelevisaUnivision simulcasts, including events such as Premios Juventud.
That variety gives Galavisión a noticeably different personality from the sports-focused TUDN or the broader flagship Univision network.
Galavisión channel FAQ
What's the cheapest way to get Galavisión?
YouTube TV's standalone Spanish Plan ($34.99/mo.) is one of the cheapest ways to stream Galavisión without a full English-language TV package. You can also compare Spanish-language plans from Hulu + Live TV and DIRECTV if you want a different channel mix.
How can I watch Galavisión for free?
You can't pick up Galavisión with an antenna because it's a cable network rather than an over-the-air station. Your best short-term option is a free trial from an eligible streaming service such as YouTube TV or DIRECTV, when available.
Is Galavisión on Amazon Prime Video?
No. Galavisión isn't currently offered as a standalone Prime Video Channel, and a standard Amazon Prime membership doesn't include the network. Amazon does offer ViX Premium through Prime Video Channels, but ViX doesn't carry the live Galavisión channel in the U.S.
Can I get Galavisión as a standalone subscription?
No, TelevisaUnivision doesn't currently sell Galavisión as a standalone subscription. To watch the live channel, you'll need a cable, satellite, or live TV streaming package that carries it.
