ESPN+ coverage[edit]
As of July 2012, 4 separate versions of ESPN+ exist:
- ESPN+ Argentina, which does not have rights to Argentine Primera División football (soccer), but has the rights to the Brazilian Série A football (soccer).
- ESPN+ Uruguay-Paraguay, which has rights to 1st and 2nd choice matches from the Argentine Primera División and the Brazilian Série A.
- ESPN+ Andina, which serves Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, also has rights to 1st and 2nd choice matches from the Argentine Primera División and the Brazilian Série A. Many taped programs on ESPN+ Andina air 2 hours after they have aired on ESPN+ Argentina and ESPN+ Uruguay-Paraguay due to the time difference between Buenos Aires and Bogota/Lima/Quito.
- ESPN+ Brasil, which like ESPN+ Argentina, does not have the rights to Argentine Primera División football, but also does not have the rights to the Brazilian Série A football.
