ESPN Latin America logo from 1989 to 2002 and from 2006 to 2013. It is still used in the northern feeds of ESPN spin-off channels.

ESPN Latin America, unlike its U.S. sister channels, has more programs related to football, such as live games from Spain's La Liga.

The Disney/Hearst Corporation joint venture has also added some secondary regional channels for the Latin American region in the last few years, like ESPN 2, ESPN 3 and ESPN +.

In 2011 ESPN launched a new channel, named ESPN 3, which is divided in four segments: Live (broadcasts live coverage of sport events), Compact (resumed sport events), ESPN 3.0 (extreme sports) and ESPN Series (featuring "30 For 30").
