Where to Broadcast USMNT Games

Because the USMNT matches are high-profile national broadcasts, they will air exclusively on flagship networks rather than secondary cable channels.

• In English (Fox): Every USMNT match will air on local over-the-air Fox stations. You do not need a cable subscription to watch these if you have a digital antenna or stream through a service that includes local Fox. They will not be relegated to FS1.
• In Spanish (Telemundo): Every USMNT match will broadcast live on Telemundo and stream live on Peacock.

2. Peacock ($10.99/mo): The absolute cheapest streaming option to watch all USMNT games live in Spanish with high-quality HD coverage.
3. Digital Antenna (OTA): Since USMNT matches are on Fox and Telemundo (broadcast networks), a one-time purchase of a digital antenna allows you to watch all three games live in crystal-clear HD for free.
