Where to Watch the 2026 FIFA World Cup
Every World Cup game can be streamed in Spanish during the tournament window of June 11 through July 19, 2026. The broadcast channels are FOX, FS1, Telemundo, and Universo. Streaming access is available through FOX One, which carries every game in English, Peacock, which will stream every match in Spanish, DirecTV, Fubo, and additional services.
How to Watch for Free
There are several ways to watch World Cup games for free in 2026. Viewers who want Spanish-language coverage can get Peacock for free with services like Walmart+ and Instacart. English-language broadcasts on FOX and FS1 are available on several different services, all of which offer free trials.
You can try FOX One free for 7 days, Fubo, and DirecTV for 5 days. For the longest trial of all of them, YouTube TV can be tried free for 21 days. An antenna will also get you access to Fox stations for free.
YouTube TV includes all the channels needed to watch the 2026 World Cup: Fox, FS1, Universo, and Telemundo. YouTube TV is currently priced at $67.99 per month for the first five months, then $82.99 per month thereafter, and can be tried free for 10 days. One thing to note: YouTube TV livestreams tend to run a slight delay, which is not ideal if you are trying to keep up with the live game down to the exact second.
DirecTV's Entertainment tier is currently $59.99 for the first month, then $89.99 thereafter. That tier gets you access to nearly every channel needed to watch the World Cup: Fox, FS1, and Telemundo. DirecTV Entertainment also comes with free ESPN Unlimited, which provides access to every ESPN channel. DirecTV offers a free 5-day trial on any tier, so you can try it out at low risk. After the free trial and new subscriber month deal on DirecTV's Entertainment tier, the monthly price goes up to $89.99 per month.
FOX One
FOX One is a relatively new streaming service from FOX that launched last summer. With a subscription to FOX One, you can tune in to FOX News, FOX Sports, FOX Weather, FS1, FS2, FOX Business, FOX Deportes, Big Ten Network (B1G), and local FOX stations all in one place.
FOX One offers live programming, as well as shows and movies on demand. At launch, the base price for FOX One costs $19.99 a month, or you can save with an annual subscription for $199.99. Before committing to a subscription, you can try FOX One free for 3 days, which means you can catch at least a few World Cup games for nothing.
Peacock and Spectrum Options
Viewers can get Peacock for free with services like Walmart+ and Instacart. Peacock with ads is also free with Spectrum TV . Spectrum TV customers may be eligible for Peacock Premium (with ads) at no extra cost through eligible Spectrum "TV " packages.
