- Antonio Banderas will receive the Agent of Change award at the 2026 Premios Juventud for his impact on education, social action, and community development.
- Banderas founded the Lágrimas y Favores Foundation in Málaga in 2010 to support cultural, educational, and charitable initiatives for vulnerable populations.
- TelevisaUnivision partnered with Spanish broadcaster RTVE to bring the awards show to European audiences for the first time in Spain.
- The 2026 ceremony will air live from Starlite Marbella on Thursday, September 3, starting at 8 p.m. ET, with US coverage on Univision, UniMás, Galavisión, ViX, and YouTube at 7 p.m. ET.
- The Noche de Estrellas red carpet pre-show will debut in Spain, featuring interviews, behind-the-scenes access, musical performances, and fashion.
Why it matters: Premios Juventud's first-ever Spain-based broadcast, anchored by an RTVE-TelevisaUnivision partnership, turns Marbella into a new crossover stage for Latin pop culture content. For Banderas, the honor puts his Lágrimas y Favores Foundation work in front of TelevisaUnivision's US and Mexico audiences — a notable platform boost for a Málaga-based charity that has operated outside the spotlight for 16 years.
