Peacock offers cheap Spanish-language coverage with subscriptions starting from $7.99 per month. No free trial is available on Peacock.
FOX One, Fox's own direct-to-consumer streaming service, offers World Cup access from $19.99 per month, which currently includes a 3-day free trial. FOX One comes free as standard with all Fubo subscriptions.
Fubo has a 5-day free trial available that gives access to all channels, English and Spanish, to watch FIFA World Cup soccer. Fubo's cheapest first-month deal is the Latino plan at $9.99.
How to Watch the World Cup for Free
If the budget for the tournament is exactly $0.00, high-stakes World Cup matches can still be accessed without spending money, though it requires a strategic setup between hardware and timed streaming sign-ups.
During the World Cup, a simple antenna is a key free option for two major hubs. An antenna can pull in the main FOX channel, but it cannot pull in FS1 (Fox Sports 1), which is a cable-exclusive network. Because the 2026 tournament features a record-breaking 104 matches, a significant number of group-stage games are relegated to FS1.
As the tournament unfolds, complete broadcasting details and kick-off times are tracked through the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026 TV schedule.
Streaming Provider Free Trials
To bridge the gap and catch FS1 cable matches for free, live-TV streaming free trials are the best bet for filling what an antenna cannot receive.
Because the World Cup runs for a full month from June 11 to July 19, 2026, a single free trial is not going to cover the whole tournament. If timed correctly, trials can be stacked to cover the most intense weeks of the tournament, such as the chaotic final days of the group stages or the high-stakes knockout rounds.
Two trial options are highlighted as the best on the board right now. Fubo's 5-day free trial gives access to all channels in English and Spanish for World Cup soccer. If you decide to go the trial route, set a calendar reminder on your phone the minute you sign up. Both services require a credit card upfront, and if you forget to cancel before your 5 days are up, you will be hit with a hefty monthly bill of $80+ faster than a referee pulls out a red card.
Stream Every Match for Under $25
If juggling free trials feels like too much of a high-wire act, or you are tired of missing FS1 games with an antenna, cheap paid workarounds can cover the entire month without fracturing your finances. You do not need an $80 per month cable replacement package to survive the tournament.
If you are willing to spend a few bucks, three options will give comprehensive coverage for the entire month. Peacock, FOX One, and Fubo each sit in that sub-$25 lane depending on plan selection.
Peacock: The Cheapest Route With a Twist
If the primary goal is to see all 104 matches for the absolute lowest price possible, Peacock is positioned as the top option. NBC's streaming service has the exclusive Spanish-language streaming rights for the tournament. Peacock subscriptions for that Spanish-language coverage start from $7.99 per month, with no free trial available.
FOX One remains another paid path at $19.99 per month, which currently includes a 3-day free trial, though it is included at no extra cost with all Fubo subscriptions. Fubo's Latino plan at $9.99 for the first month adds another low-cost entry point alongside its 5-day free trial for full English and Spanish channel access.
