The NFL is aiming to grow its Latino audience, with rapper Daddy Yankee supporting the “Por La Cultura” campaign. The league is focusing on young viewers, women, and Latinos to ensure global growth.

The NFL has increased its Latino fanbase from 31 million to 40 million over the years with efforts like broadcasting games in Spanish.

A game broadcast in Spanish for viewers in the U.S. and Mexico by TelevisaUnivision during the Super Bowl led to record-breaking viewership. The NFL is making significant efforts to expand viewership among Hispanic audiences, especially through broadcasting in Spanish.
