Frequently asked questions

What is the cheapest way to watch every World Cup match?
In English: Fox One at $19.99/mo streams all 104 matches live in 4K, with a limited-time 3-months-for-$40 promo. In Spanish: Peacock at $10.99/mo carries all 104 matches live. If you only need local broadcasts, a one-time ~$20 OTA antenna gets you Fox and Telemundo free forever.
Is the World Cup 2026 on Netflix, ESPN+, or Hulu?
No. Live US rights belong exclusively to Fox Sports (English) and NBCUniversal/Telemundo (Spanish). Netflix, ESPN+, and standard Hulu carry no live matches. You need a service with Fox, FS1, Telemundo, or Universo — or Fox One and Peacock directly.
When is the World Cup 2026?
June 11 through July 19, 2026. The opener is Mexico vs South Africa on June 11 at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City (3:00 PM ET on FOX, free on Tubi). The final is July 19 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, at 3:00 PM ET on FOX.
Which TV channels broadcast the World Cup in the US?
Fox Sports holds English-language rights: matches air on local Fox stations and FS1. NBCUniversal holds Spanish-language rights: Telemundo (over the air) and Universo (cable), with every match streaming on Peacock.
How can I stream the World Cup without cable?
Fox One ($19.99/mo) streams every match in English. Peacock ($10.99/mo) streams every match in Spanish. Live-TV bundles that carry the World Cup channels include YouTube TV, Fubo, DirecTV Stream, and Sling (Fox in select markets).
Can I watch World Cup 2026 matches for free?
Yes, legally: Tubi streams the opening ceremony, Mexico vs South Africa, and USA vs Paraguay free, plus select replays. An OTA antenna picks up local Fox and Telemundo broadcasts free in HD. Fubo and DirecTV Stream offer free trials.
Does Peacock stream the 2026 World Cup?
Yes — every one of the 104 matches, live, in Spanish, for $10.99/mo. Peacock does not carry the English-language feed; that belongs to Fox Sports and streams on Fox One.
How do I watch the USMNT matches?
All three group matches air on FOX in English and Telemundo in Spanish: USA vs Paraguay on June 12 at 9:00 PM ET (free on Tubi), USA vs Australia on June 19 at 3:00 PM ET, and USA vs Türkiye on June 25 at 10:00 PM ET. An antenna picks up both channels free.
