I’m learning Spanish, and I’m getting decent at reading it but I’m trying to immerse myself in it more since I still can’t understand it very well. so I was wondering if I could find something I really enjoy like football and watch it in Spanish. I know the NFL probably has a Spanish football channel but I like college football over the NFL and I would prefer to watch a local Spanish team play and possibly become a fan of that team and follow it.

So if American football is played in a Spanish speaking country can I watch it online somehow and also can I have some suggestions on what team would be fun to watch?

If not football I know they play basketball over there so I’ll take some suggestions for that as well if anyone is interested.

Thank you!

    If you want to follow and become a fan of a team, It’s going to be soccer, maybe baseball in the Caribbean.

    Funny enough, Japan is HUGE on baseball. I sometimes wonder if the MLB would allow Japan to play, I think.it would be fun to see.

      It would be crazy if MLB was able to incorporate foreign leagues into its structure, even if it was just to make the World Series an actual world series.

        That would be interesting, but the logistics involving traveling would be hell. There is the World Baseball Classic, but that’s more like the World Cup where national teams play each other every 4 years instead of a league like MLB with multiple teams per country competing for an annual title.
