The evening of the year began as a boxing event between content creators from Spain and Latin America and has evolved to include musical performances and guests from the entertainment industry.
The evening of the year will be broadcast on Netflix for the next three years (2027, 2028 and 2029 editions), marking a new chapter in the history of the event created by Ibai Llanos and expanding its reach to a global audience, the content platform announced this Monday. It has done so just a few days after confirming that it has purchased the broadcasting rights for the 2030 World Cup.
The evening of the year has been one of the largest streaming events in Spanish for several seasons. The fifth edition, in 2025, reached a peak of 9.3 million simultaneous viewers, and the average audience has gone from close to 1 million in 2021 to more than 6 million in 2026, Netflix notes in its note.
Llanos himself has confirmed it through a video on his social networks.
What started as a boxing event between content creators from Spain and Latin America has become a more ambitious show, incorporating musical performances and bringing together other guests from the entertainment and music industry. In its latest editions, it has been organized in large venues, such as the Metropolitan Stadium in Madrid, the Santiago Bernabéu and La Cartuja in Seville.
Until now, The Evening of the Year had been broadcast mainly on Twitch, through the Ibai Llanos channel. In 2026, the sixth edition expanded its distribution to YouTube and TikTok, before starting a new stage on Netflix starting in 2027.
In this way, Netflix continues to expand its commitment to broadcasting mass events live. It will offer live all 104 matches of the competition. Another national network will air a package of meetings, including those in Spain, as happened this summer with DAZN and TVE.
