The channel was launched on 20 December 1996 in
Latin America as a child-oriented channel, being the main competitor of
Cartoon Network, which was launched three years before. In 1999, Nickelodeon launched its official website for the region, MundoNick.com. "Nick Radio" was also available, but eventually it was replaced by the
Nick Jr. official site. On 13 February 2006, a programming block named Nick at Nite was launched. It consisted mostly of live-action shows from the 1980s and 1990s, and aired from 10 pm to 6 am. On 15 May 2006, it premiered their first sitcom locally produced in Mexico,
Skimo. On 9 June 2008, the channel launched "Nickers", a live-action show with two hosts introducing shows and music. It followed a similar concept to
Disney Channel's
Zapping Zone. The block was cancelled in all feeds in December 2008. In 2008, two locally produced series premiered, both being
soap operas. The first one,
Isa TKM premiered on 29 September 2008 and
La maga y el camino dorado premiered on 13 October of that same year. In 2009, a programming block called
Nick Hits, which aired classic
Nicktoons, replaced Nick at Nite on weekends. On 5 April 2010, Nickelodeon Latin America was rebranded to match with other international Nickelodeon feeds around the world, making it one of the last Nickelodeon international feeds to switch to the new graphics. Following the rebrand, NickHits was discontinued and replaced again by Nick at Nite. In June 2010,
Viacom gave the rights for Mexico to produce their own
Kids' Choice Awards. It premiered on 4 September 2010. On 20 July 2010, another original series called
Sueña conmigo premiered on the channel. In August 2010, Nickelodeon started to rerun the animated series
Avatar: The Last Airbender to promote the
2010 film adaptation; with this, a new on-air logo was shown when the series was broadcast, an arrow blurring takes on or off in the Nick logo. On 2 May 2011, it was premiered the fifth original production
Grachi. In January 2012,
MTV Networks Latin America announced another locally produced soap opera,
Miss XV, which premiered on 16 April 2012. In 2012, the
Nick at Nite programming block replaced its programming from the 1980s and 1990s with some of Nickelodeon's 2000s and 2010s series. On 1 January 2015, the
Nick at Nite programming block was discontinued. On 29 August 2023, nearly 6 months after its rebrand in the US, Nickelodeon rebranded to the splat era during the 2023 Mexico Kids' Choice Awards. On 17 October 2023, the Panregional feed of Nickelodeon delocalised and started to use some assets from EMEAA, except for the Mexico feed. Trailers are now textless and end credits on Panregional feed are replaced with short credits, indicating the show's name, production company and year, similar to the Nickelodeon channels in EMEAA. However, the channel is still retaining some localization, such as advertisements, localised text on selected trailers, and opt-outs for local programming. This is a result of
Nick Jr.'s delocalisation on September 19, 2023. On 14 November 2023, the Mexico feed migrated to the EMEAA playout, screenbug and banners. However, it still retained the graphics, promos and end credits (except dubbing credits) until 1 September 2025, when the Mexico feed underwent technical changes similar to those experienced by the Panregional feed in October 2023.. While it shared the same programming as the Panregional feed, the two feeds are remained separated as trailers in the Mexico feed only mentioned Mexico time, while in the Panregional feed Colombia and Argentina times are mentioned. On 7 October 2025, Paramount announced that
Nickelodeon would end in Brazil on 31 December 2025. In Hispanic America, the channel will continue to operate due to the Hispanic American market having a high penetration of pay TV and being less reliant on cord-cutting than Brazil. On 4 March 2026, Nickelodeon confirmed that the Panregional feed would be replaced by the Mexican feed by 8 April 2026 (whose feed began to gradually replace the Panregional feed on several pay TV services of the region in February of the same year), with all pay TV services in Latin America using that feed by then. However, the feeds unification was brought forward to 18 March 2026, when the Panregional feed was removed and merged with the Mexico feed in all pay TV services of the region. Since then, the channel has once again consisted of a single feed for the entire region as in its launch. == Feeds ==
