Univision’s 2025 Premios Juventud a dazzling live telecast from Panama City marked the first time the awards show was held outside the U.S.
TelevisaUnivision/Premios Juventud
In a night of star-studded performances, the 2025 Premios Juventud telecast celebrated some of the biggest names in Latin music and culture, showcasing musical premieres, powerful tributes, and special recognitions.
Bad Bunny, who wasn’t present to pick up his trophies, dominated the urban categories with three wins, taking Best Urban Track for “DTMF,” Best Urban Mix for “Adivino,” and Best Urban Album for “Debí Tirar Más Fotos.” Colombian pop-rock group Morat matched his success, earning Favorite Group or Duo of the Year, Best Pop/Rock Song for “Me Toca a Mí,” and Best Pop Album for “Ya Es Mañana.” Both are also nominated for Latin Grammys this year.
Celebrating Talent and Agents of Change
Carlos Vives earned recognition for his cultural and sustainability leadership in Colombia, while Myke Towers received the award for youth advocacy and social impact across Latin America. The Agent of Change category highlights artists who use their platforms to drive meaningful social progress.
Karol G claimed Artist of the Year and Tropical Hit of the Year for “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido.” Mexican music found representation through Carín León, who won Best Mexican Music Song for “El Amor de Mi Herida” and Best Mexican Music Album for “Boca Chueca, Vol.1.”
Panama Tribute and Performances
Hosts Alejandra Espinoza, Clarissa Molina, and Nadia Ferreira guided viewers through 41 categories spanning music, television, streaming, and social media. The show opened with a tribute to Panama’s musical heritage featuring Boza, Dímelo Flow, Farruko, Los Rabanes, Nando Boom, Natti Natasha, Samy & Sandra Sandoval, Sech, and Willie Colón performing “La Murga,” “Ellos Benia Dem Bow,” and “Gallina Fina.”
During the ceremony, performers showcased traditional Panamanian dance wearing the typical pollera dress.

Digital Creators and Television Winners
The digital creator categories showcased social media’s growing influence. Jessica Judith Ortiz took Creator of the Year, while Alexis Omman won Creator with a Social Cause. Los Chicaneros earned Best LOL, and Luisito Comunica claimed the #Airplanemode award.
Television drama El Extraño Retorno de Diana Salazar swept its categories. Sebastián Rulli and Angelique Boyer won My Favorite Actor and Actress respectively, with both also taking the They Make Me Fall In Love category.
The Univision awards show made history by taking the ceremony outside the U.S. for the first time, broadcasting live from Panama City. It also moved the show from July to September – the first schedule change since 2005 – to coincide with Hispanic Heritage Month under the theme “Evolucionando al Ritmo de la Música” (Evolving to the Rhythm of Music).
The show was simulcast live Thursday, September 25 on Univision, UniMás, Galavisión, TeleMetro in Panama, and streamed on ViX.
Viewers who missed the live broadcast can catch up with performances and acceptance speeches through Univision’s dedicated Premios Juventud playlist on the network’s YouTube channel.
