Movistar plus+ packs a punch beyond laliga this weekend
Forget the relentless focus on LaLiga – Movistar Plus+ is quietly delivering a weekend brimming with motorsport and NCAA March Madness action, proving there’s plenty to keep subscribers engaged beyond Spanish football. While the Spanish league consistently draws the biggest crowds, a surge of compelling sporting events are vying for attention this weekend, demonstrating a broader appeal for the streaming service.
Fuel your weekend: worldwcr and march madness collide
For those craving speed and strategy, the WorldWCR (Women's World Championship Racing) kicks off today, March 27th, with the first Grand Prix. The competition, featuring a field including defending champion Maria Herrera, offers a fresh dose of adrenaline, readily accessible to all Movistar Plus+ subscribers via Vamos 3. The Superpole begins at 2:25 PM today, with Carrera 1 scheduled for Saturday at 12:50 PM, and Carrera 2 following on Sunday at the same time.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there. College basketball fans are in for a treat with the “Sweet Sixteen” matchups of the NCAA 2026 March Madness tournament. Subscribers with a fiber and mobile pack are in for a treat, with games like St. John’s vs. Duke (Saturday at 12:10 AM ET), Alabama vs. Michigan (Saturday at 12:35 AM ET), Michigan St. vs. UCONN (Saturday at 2:45 AM ET), and Tennessee vs. Iowa St. (Saturday at 3:10 AM ET) airing on Deportes 5, channel 192. The Final Four, and subsequent championship games, will be streamed on Vamos and Vamos 3 later this spring.
The platform is offering several subscription tiers, starting at €9.99 per month or an annual deal for €99.90, which includes two months free. A special offer is also available for young subscribers with a cultural bonus, priced at €39.00 for an annual subscription.
But, here’s the detail often missed: access to the NCAA tournament’s most thrilling moments—those early-round upsets—requires a sports pack add-on. While the Final Four will be available to all subscribers, tuning in to the “Sweet Sixteen” demands a bit more investment. The broader picture, however, is clear: Movistar Plus+ is actively cultivating a diverse sports offering, moving beyond its reliance on football to capture a wider audience.
As journalist Daniel Caballero notes, Movistar Plus+ continues to adapt its offerings, reflecting a broader shift in the telecom landscape. The weekend’s programming showcases this diversification, offering a compelling alternative for viewers seeking thrills beyond the pitch.
The competition doesn’t end this weekend; the WorldWCR series continues with rounds in Assen, Balaton Park, Misano, and Donington, culminating in a final showdown in Jerez in October. Consider this a long-term investment in high-octane racing if you’re drawn to the series’ debut.
