{{Main|List of programs broadcast by UniMás}}
UniMás operates on a 126-hour network programming schedule, which it has maintained since its launch as TeleFutura in January 2002. It provides general entertainment programming to owned-and-operated and affiliated stations daily from 6:00&nbsp;a.m. to 1:00&nbsp;a.m. Eastern and Pacific Time. Two separate children's programming blocks known as "[[Toonturama]]" and "Toonturama Junior" – which features some programs compliant with FCC educational programming requirements – airs for five hours each Saturday at 7:00&nbsp;a.m. Eastern and Pacific Time. All other time periods are filled with [[infomercial]]s.

As TeleFutura, the network featured a broad mix of programming, consisting of telenovelas, sports, feature films, entertainment newsmagazines, comedy series (such as ''[[¡Qué Locura!]]'' ("What Madness!") and ''[[Chespirito (TV series)|Chespirito]]''<ref>{{cite web|title=TeleFutura Expands Programming|url=http://hispanicad.com/blog/news-article/had/television/telefutura-expands-programming|website=Hispanic Ad Weekly|publisher=Hispanic Media Sales, Inc.|date=February 19, 2002|access-date=November 7, 2015}}</ref>), [[game show]]s (such as the ''[[Family Feud]]'' adaptations ''[[¿Qué dice la gente?]]'' ("What do the People Say?") and ''[[100 Mexicanos Dijeron]]'' ("A Hundred Mexicans Said"))<ref>{{cite press release|title=TeleFutura Announces Exciting Programming Slate for 2006-2007; Celebrating Its Fifth Anniversary, Network Unveils Two Exclusively Produced Novelas, Expands Blockbuster Movie Line-up and Premieres U.S. Produced Popular Game Show|url=http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20060517005749/en/TeleFutura-Announces-Exciting-Programming-Slate-2006-2007-Celebrating|publisher=Univision Communications|via=Business Wire|date=May 17, 2006|access-date=November 7, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Betty Reruns, New Game Coming To Telefutura|url=http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2002-10-02/lifestyle/0210010292_1_telefutura-mexican-tv-dijo-miedo|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140407170115/http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2002-10-02/lifestyle/0210010292_1_telefutura-mexican-tv-dijo-miedo|url-status=dead|archive-date=April 7, 2014|author=Magaly Morales|newspaper=[[Sun-Sentinel|South Florida Sun-Sentinel]]|publisher=Tribune Publishing|date=October 2, 2002}}</ref>) and [[variety show|variety series]] (such as ''Pepsi Música'' ("[[Pepsi]] Music")<ref>{{cite press release|title='Pepsi Musica' to Launch on Telefutura Network Saturday, April 24; Popular Weekly Music Series Gets New Name, New Look, New Host and to Feature Exclusive Live Performances by Top Latin Acts|url=http://www.thefreelibrary.com/%27Pepsi+Musica%27+to+Launch+on+Telefutura+Network+Saturday,+April+24%3B…-a0115691594|agency=[[PR Newswire]]|publisher=Univision Communications|via=The Free Library|date=April 22, 2004|access-date=November 7, 2015}}</ref> and ''Sabadazo''). In January 2009, TeleFutura launched the daily gossip show ''La Tijera'', hosted by Charitin Goyco, Liliana Rodriguez, [[Paul Bouche]], [[Carolina Sandoval]] and Augusto Valverde.<ref>{{cite web|title=El Publico Pide|url=http://www.enelbrasero.com/2009/03/10/el-publico-pide-que-corten-con-la-tijera-a-charitin/|website=En el Brasero|date=March 10, 2009|access-date=November 7, 2015}}</ref> The hosting staff was gradually altered over its two-year run to include Tanya Charry, Raul Garcia, Anabelle Blum and Rodolfo Jimenez joining Sandoval; the show was cancelled in October 2011. On October 10, 2011, ''La Tujera'' was replaced by a daily gossip show ''[[Tómbola (TV series)|Tómbola]]'', while the network also debuted a late night talk show ''Noche de Perros''; due to low ratings, ''Tombola'' was cancelled on January 17, 2012, followed by ''Noche de Perros'' three months later on April 20.<ref>{{cite web|title="Work It" Didn't Work|url=http://latinola.com/story.php?story=10301|website=LatinoLA|publisher=LatinoCities, Inc.|date=January 19, 2012|access-date=November 7, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Cancelan 'Tómbola' de Telefutura.

Currently, the majority of UniMás' programming consists of telenovelas and series produced by Televisa (the majority of which originated on the company's flagship network in Mexico, [[Canal de las Estrellas]]), Caracol Televisión and RTI Colombia; several of the network's Televisa-sourced programs (including ''[[Casos de Família]]'' ("Family Cases") and ''[[El Chavo del 8]]'') have also previously aired on parent network Univision, many having aired on that network years prior to being broadcast on UniMás. It also carries a moderate amount of first-run original programming produced by sister production unit Univision Studios, including the reality courtroom show ''Veredicto Final'' and sports magazine program ''Zona NBA''.

Notably, UniMás was to replace Telemundo as the U.S. Spanish language broadcaster of the [[Miss Universe]] and [[Miss USA]] pageants through an agreement with the [[Miss Universe Organization]] that was signed on February 5, 2015.<ref>{{cite press release|title=Univision Enters Into Long Term Partnership with Miss Universe Organization|url=http://www.missuniverse.com/missusa/news/view/537#.VYxx6aPbLcs|website=[[Miss Universe Organization]]|date=February 5, 2015|access-date=June 25, 2015}}</ref> However, Univision Communications chose to relinquish the rights to the two pageants on June 25 of that year, as part of its decision to cut business ties with then-Miss Universe Organization co-owner [[Donald Trump]] in response to controversial remarks he made during his June 16 speech [[Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016|announcing his candidacy]] for the [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican Party]] [[President of the United States|Presidential]] nomination in which Trump stated that Mexicans immigrating into the U.S. were responsible for the transporting of illegal drugs, brought crime, rapists and drug dealers into the country, and called for the [[Trump's border wall|building of a wall]] along the [[Mexico–United States border]].<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Univision Drops Miss USA Pageant After Trump's Mexico Remarks|url=https://time.com/3935687/univision-miss-usa-pageant-trump-mexico/|author=Eric Dodds|magazine=[[Time (magazine)|Time]]|publisher=[[Time Inc.]]|date=June 25, 2015}}</ref><ref name="Trump Comments">{{cite web|title=Univision dumps Trump, cancels Miss USA over his comments about Mexicans|url=https://money.cnn.com/2015/06/25/media/univision-donald-trump-mexicans/|author=Brian Stelter|author-link=Brian Stelter|website=[[CNN Money]]|publisher=[[Time Warner]]|date=June 25, 2015}}</ref><ref name="Univision Drops Pageant">{{cite web|title=Univision Dropping Miss USA Pageant Over Trump Comments|url=https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory/univision-dropping-miss-usa-pageant-trump-comments-32023568|author=Frazier Moore|author-link=Frazier Moore|agency=Associated Press|website=[[ABC News (United States)|ABC News]]|publisher=[[The Walt Disney Company]]|date=June 25, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Univision cuts ties with Miss Universe over Donald Trump's 'insulting remarks about Mexican immigrants'|url=http://www.kansascity.com/entertainment/ent-columns-blogs/stargazing/article25489081.html|author=Lisa Gutierrez|agency=[[Associated Press]]|newspaper=[[Kansas City Star]]|publisher=[[The McClatchy Company]]|date=June 25, 2015}}</ref> The termination of the agreement led Trump and the Miss Universe Organization to jointly file a [[breach of contract]] and defamation lawsuit against Univision Communications in the [[New York Supreme Court]] on June 30, 2015, seeking $500 million in damages.<ref>{{cite news|title=Trump: NBC contract 'violation' will be 'determined in court'|url=http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2015/06/trump-nbc-contract-violation-will-be-determined-in-209679.html|author=Dylan Byers|website=[[Politico]]|publisher=[[Capitol News Company]]|date=June 29, 2015|access-date=June 30, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Donald Trump Hits Univision With $500M Miss USA Lawsuit, Network Calls It "Ridiculous" – Update|url=https://deadline.com/2015/06/donald-trump-univision-lawsuit-miss-usa-1201464957/|author=Dominic Patten|website=Deadline.com|publisher=Penske Media Corporation|date=June 30, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Trump, Miss Universe Organization Sue Univision for $500 Million|url=http://www.broadcastingcable.com/news/currency/trump-miss-universe-organization-sue-univision-500-million/142263|author=Jessika Walsten|website=[[Broadcasting & Cable]]|publisher=[[NewBay Media]]|date=June 30, 2015}}</ref>

===News programming===
The only general news program to have aired on the network to date debuted on October 17, 2005, when TeleFutura began airing ''En Vivo y Directo'' ("Live and Direct"), a half-hour early evening newscast that aired at 7:00&nbsp;p.m. Eastern Time (opposite a taped 4:00&nbsp;p.m. news program on sister network [[Galavisión]]) that featured an in-depth analysis of news stories affecting the U.S. Hispanic community. The program was cancelled in April 2006 due to low ratings, replacing the newscast with movies.<ref>{{cite press release|title=Rashel Díaz Joins "Telefutura En Vivo y Directo"|url=http://corporate.univision.com/2005/09/rashel-diaz-joins-%E2%80%9Ctelefutura-en-vivo-y-directo%E2%80%9D/|publisher=[[Univision Communications]]|date=September 29, 2005}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Daddy Yankee To Perform At Latin Awards|url=http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2006-04-24/lifestyle/0604210690_1_betty-la-fea-mexican-tv-telefutura|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140407224416/http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2006-04-24/lifestyle/0604210690_1_betty-la-fea-mexican-tv-telefutura|url-status=dead|archive-date=April 7, 2014|author=Magaly Morales|newspaper=South Florida Sun-Sentinel|publisher=Tribune Publishing|date=April 24, 2006}}</ref>

As UniMás, on September 20, 2015, the network began airing ''Fusion Presenta'' ("Fusion Presents"), a weekly block on Sunday nights consisting of Spanish-language versions of original docu-series originally aired on English language sister cable network [[Fusion (TV channel)|Fusion]].<ref>{{cite web|title=UniMas Picks Up Spanish-Language Versions of Fusion Series|url=https://variety.com/2015/tv/news/fusion-unimas-1201594948/|periodical=Variety|publisher=Penske Media Corporation|date=September 16, 2015|access-date=November 7, 2015}}</ref> In November 2015, the network also began simulcasting Univision's late night newscast, ''Noticiero Univision Edición Nocturna'' on weeknights, as Univision began several simulcasting efforts to maximize its ratings, including having lead-out program ''Contacto Deportivo'' airing both on Univision and Univision Deportes Network to compete against the flagship English broadcast and the [[ESPN Deportes]] Spanish version of [[ESPN]]'s ''[[SportsCenter]]''.

===Sports programming===
{{Main|TUDN (brand)}}
Through its association with Univision's sports division, Univision Deportes (which is also responsible for the production of sports content on [[Galavisión (United States)|Galavisión]] and its dedicated cable-satellite sports channel [[Univision Deportes Network]]), UniMás broadcasts [[association football|soccer]] matches from [[Liga MX]] (which have aired since the network's inception in January 2002) and [[Major League Soccer]]. The network has also broadcast weekly boxing matches on most Fridays for much of its history; as TeleFutura, the network debuted a new weekly boxing showcase, ''Sólo boxeo'', on April 30, 2010.

The network also served as a supplementary Spanish-language broadcaster of the [[FIFA World Cup|FIFA Men's]] and [[FIFA Women's World Cup|Women's World Cups]] through Univision Communications' exclusive contract with [[FIFA]] for the U.S. Spanish-language television rights to the tournament that concluded in [[2014 FIFA World Cup|2014]] (Telemundo and [[NBC Universo]] assumed the contract beginning with the [[2015 FIFA Women's World Cup|2015 Women's World Cup]]).<ref>{{cite web|title=Cover Story: Global Goal|url=http://www.multichannel.com/content/cover-story-global-goal/117425|author=Mark Reynolds|periodical=[[Multichannel News]]|publisher=Reed Business Information|date=July 19, 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite press release|title=FIFA Awards Rights for 2015 to 2022|url=https://www.fifa.com/about-fifa/news/y=2011/m=10/news=fifa-awards-rights-for-2015-2022-1530715.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150503234154/http://www.fifa.com/about-fifa/news/y=2011/m=10/news=fifa-awards-rights-for-2015-2022-1530715.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=May 3, 2015|website=[[FIFA]]|date=October 2011}}</ref> Just a few months after its launch TeleFutura first aired the replays of the [[2002 FIFA World Cup]]. As TeleFutura, it carried eight live games during the [[2006 FIFA U-20 Women's World Championship|2006 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup]], all occurring during the last days of group play when multiple games are played simultaneously (in the same capacity that [[ESPN2]] served for English-language rightsholder [[ESPN]]); the network also aired replays of tournament matches and World Cup recap shows. In 2007, TeleFutura acquired the exclusive rights to broadcast weekly Major League Soccer games on Sunday afternoons; its relationship with the league expanded in 2012, when the network aired the [[MLS Cup]], which was watched by 485,000 viewers (a 58% increase from the 2011 final and a 109% increase over the 2010 final, both of which aired on Galavisión).<ref>{{cite web|title=MLS Cup viewers jump on TeleFutura, Xolos are TV|url=http://www.socceramerica.com/article/49496/mls-cup-viewers-jump-on-telefutura-xolos-are-tv-h.htmlhit|author=Paul Kennedy|website=[[Soccer America]]|date=December 4, 2012}}</ref>

Upon the rebrand to UniMás, the network increased its sports offerings with events such as soccer matches from the [[Mexico national football team|Mexico National Team]] and Liga MX, and the acquisition of rights to the [[2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup]], the [[2013 FIFA Confederations Cup]] and [[Copa América Centenario]], along with the [[2014 FIFA World Cup]] and the [[2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup]]. TeleFutura shows carried over to the relaunched UniMás included sports programs such as ''Solo Boxeo'' and the nightly sports news program ''Contacto Deportivo'' (which would eventually move to Univision after a twelve-year run on TeleFutura/UniMás on March 8, 2015).<ref name="latimes-unimas"/> On November 1, 2014, UniMás began airing rebroadcasts of the [[El Rey Network]] [[professional wrestling]] showcase ''[[Lucha Underground]]'' on Saturday afternoons.<ref>{{cite web|title=Univision To Use El Rey Wrestling Show To Bolster UniMas|url=https://variety.com/2014/tv/news/univision-to-use-el-rey-wrestling-show-to-bolster-unimas-1201340092/|author=Brian Steinberg|periodical=Variety|date=27 October 2014|publisher=Penske Media Corporation|access-date=February 4, 2015}}</ref> On May 3, 2015, the network debuted a weekly sports magazine program ''Zona NBA'' ("NBA Zone"), featuring news and interviews from around the [[National Basketball Association]] (NBA).

The network began airing [[UEFA Champions League]] and [[UEFA Europa League]] matches in 2018 as a result of Univision acquiring the Spanish-language rights to UEFA club competitions from Fox Sports beginning with the 2018–19 season.

TelevisaUnivision will also have the exclusive Spanish-language rights in the U.S. to the [[2024 American League Division Series]] and [[2024 American League Championship Series|American League Championship Series]], which will air on UniMás and simulcast on TUDN, with select games on Univision. Additionally, Game 1 of the 2024 World Series will be broadcast on Univision.<ref>{{Cite web |last=anegron |date=2024-08-15 |title=TelevisaUnivision and Major League Baseball Announce New Multi-Year Partnership |url=https://corporate.televisaunivision.com/press/2024/08/15/televisaunivision-and-major-league-baseball-announce-new-multi-year-partnership/ |access-date=2024-10-14 |website=TelevisaUnivision}}</ref>

===Children's programming===
{{Main|Children's programming on UniMás|Toonturama}}
For much of its history, the bulk of TeleFutura/UniMás' children's programming was derived of mainly live-action and animated programming from American and international producers, much of which consisted of dubbed versions of series natively produced in English (including ''[[Bob the Builder]]'', ''[[Ned's Newt]]'' and ''[[Dumb Bunnies]]'').

When the network launched in 2002, TeleFutura launched three children's program blocks aimed at different audiences: "Mi Tele" ("My TV"), a two-hour animation block on weekday mornings featuring a mix of imported Spanish-language cartoons (such as ''[[Fantaghirò (TV series)|Fantaghiro]]'' and ''El Nuevo Mundo de los Gnomos'' ("The New World of the Gnomes")); and two weekend morning blocks, "[[Toonturama]]", a three-hour lineup that mainly featured dubbed versions of American and European animated series as well as [[anime]] series (such as ''[[Flight Squad]]'' and ''[[Problem Child (TV series)|Problem Child]]'', ''[[Lost Universe]]'', ''[[Tenchi Universe]]'' and ''[[Red Baron (anime)|Red Baron]]''; ''[[Toad Patrol]]'' was an exception to the dubbing as it needed to use an English dub to fix translation issues) and a two-hour companion block that preceded it on Saturday and Sunday mornings, "Toonturama Junior", featuring programs aimed at preschoolers that fulfilled [[E/I|educational programming]] requirements defined by the [[Federal Communications Commission]]'s [[Children's Television Act]] (among the programs featured on "Toonturama Junior" was ''[[Plaza Sésamo]]'' ("City Square Sesame"), Televisa and [[Sesame Workshop]]'s Spanish-language adaptation of ''[[Sesame Street]]'' featuring a mix of original segments featuring characters based on its U.S.-based parent series and dubbed interstitials from the aforementioned originating program, which had aired on Univision since 1995 and passed on the U.S. television rights to TeleFutura at its launch).<ref name="cartoonsontelefutura">{{cite web|title=Cartoons For Children On TeleFutura|url=http://hispanicad.com/blog/news-article/had/television/cartoons-children-telefutura|website=Hispanic Ad Weekly|publisher=Hispanic Media Sales, Inc.|date=December 15, 2001|access-date=November 7, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Hispanic Networks Rebrand en Masse|url=http://www.adweek.com/news/television/hispanic-networks-rebrand-en-masse-145833|author=Sam Thielman|periodical=[[AdWeek]]|publisher=[[Guggenheim Partners]]|date=December 10, 2012}}</ref> On September 9, 2018, in an agreement with [[Animaccord Animation Studio|Animaccord]], the network launched the popular Russian cartoon [[Masha and the Bear]], airing it every Sunday morning.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.animaccord.com/news/animaccord-extends-the-masha-and-the-bear-media-presence-in-the-usa.html|title=Animaccord Extends the Masha and the Bear Media Presence in the USA|last=Animaccord|first=International licensing Company and Studio|date=September 7, 2018}}</ref>
