===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).
