As of December 1, the majority of sports broadcasters with the FOX brand in Latin America they will change their nomenclature to ESPN 4. In most cases, networks such as FOX Sports, FOX Sports 2 and FOX Sports 3 will no longer be available in favor of transferring content to this new channel.

Only three countries will be exempt of the change that will occur as of December 1. On the one hand, Argentina It has not yet approved the FOX-Disney merger due to the media law that is handled within the territory. Brazil has already confirmed that the change will occur later, specifically on January 17, 2022. Finally, Mexico has ceased to be affected due to the purchase of FOX Sports by the Lauman Group.
