Streaming · World Cup 2026

Stream the 2026 World Cup without cable.

There are two streaming services that carry every match in the US: FOX One in English ($19.99/month) and Peacock in Spanish (from $7.99/month). Live-TV services (YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Fubo, Sling Blue) carry the same FOX broadcast and FS1 feeds you would get from cable.

Quick answer

Pick FOX One if you want every match in English on a single subscription. Pick Peacock if you want every match in Spanish on a single subscription. Pick a live-TV service (YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Fubo, Sling Blue) if you also want regular live TV — these carry both FOX broadcast and FS1 (and most carry Telemundo + Universo too). All major streaming options offer a free trial — schedule yours to start on the first match you actually want to watch.

FAQ

Streaming: FAQs

What is the cheapest way to stream every 2026 World Cup match in English?

FOX One. It carries all 104 matches in English and costs $19.99 per month or $199.99 per year. New subscribers get a 7-day free trial. A limited-time offer is currently advertising 3 months for $40 — about half the price of a month-to-month subscription.

What about Spanish-language streaming?

Peacock streams all 104 matches in Spanish. Premium ($7.99 per month) carries ads; Premium Plus ($13.99 per month) is ad-free and supports offline downloads. The Telemundo app is also available, but requires a cable / live-TV provider sign-in, so it is not strictly direct-to-consumer.

Will YouTube TV carry every match?

YouTube TV carries FOX broadcast, FS1, Telemundo, and Universo in most markets — which together covers every match. Verify your local channel lineup at YouTube TV before signing up; some local feeds depend on your ZIP code.

Can I stream the opening match for free?

Yes. The opening match (Mexico vs South Africa, Mexico City, June 11) is on the FOX broadcast network, which you can stream during the FOX One 7-day free trial. Telemundo also airs the match free over the air, and Peacock’s lowest tier covers the Spanish broadcast.

Do I need a VPN to stream the World Cup?

Not if you are in the US watching official US broadcasts. VPNs are commonly used by viewers trying to access another country’s broadcaster; that may violate the streaming service’s terms of service, and is outside the scope of this guide.
