- WDKT-LD (Channel 31) in Greenville, South Carolina

- WZCH (Channel 49) in Charleston, South Carolina
- WXIV (Channel 14) in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Three games have been announced for the Telemundo affiliates so far:

- Saturday, August 16 – at Houston Texans | 1:00 PM
- Thursday, August 21 – vs. Pittsburgh Steelers | 7:00 PM | Charlotte, NC
The Spanish-language broadcasts will feature veteran sportscaster Carlos Ramirez on play-by-play and Ariana Figueroa providing color commentary. Ramirez brings over a decade of NFL broadcasting experience, including Super Bowl coverage for Telemundo Network, NFL Network, and ESPN. Figueroa is recognized for her dynamic sideline reporting and in-depth analysis, having covered the NFL and the Super Bowl for major sports networks.
“This partnership with the Carolina Panthers marks an exciting milestone for our Telemundo affiliates and the communities we proudly serve across the Carolinas,” said Susan Sim Oh, the Senior Vice President of Strategy and Operations, Gray Telemundo Affiliate Station Group. “This is about more than football — it’s about building inclusive experiences that resonate with our Spanish-speaking viewers. We’re especially proud that Fox Carolina, WHNS, helped lead the way in forging this first-of-its-kind partnership, bringing Panthers football to even more households in a way that honors culture, language, and community.”
“This partnership with Telemundo is an exciting opportunity to bring Panthers football to even more households across the Carolinas,” added Kristi Coleman, chief executive officer of Tepper Sports & Entertainment and Carolina Panthers team president. “As the region continues to grow, we’re proud to strengthen our connection with Latino fans by making our preseason broadcasts more accessible than ever before.”
The Spanish-language broadcasts are an extension of the broader partnership between Fox Carolina (WHNS) and the Carolina Panthers announced in April 2025.
“The Carolina Panthers are a tremendous partner, and we couldn’t be more excited about this expansion of offerings to our Spanish-speaking audiences,” said WHNS Fox Carolina and WDKT Telemundo South Carolina General Manager Bryce Caldwell.
