The 2026 FIFA World Cup is the most widely broadcast sporting event in human history — and with 104 matches across 39 days, you are going to want to know exactly where to find every game. Here is your complete broadcast and streaming guide.
United States
In the United States, all 104 World Cup matches will be broadcast on FOX and FS1. Spanish language coverage is available on Telemundo and Peacock. Streaming options include the FOX Sports app, Fubo TV, and Peacock Premium. Fubo TV is particularly popular for football fans, offering access to both English and Spanish language feeds with no blackouts across all host city markets.
United Kingdom
In the United Kingdom, the BBC and ITV have split broadcast rights for the 2026 World Cup, continuing the arrangement from previous tournaments. Free-to-air coverage means every match is available without a subscription — BBC iPlayer and ITVX both stream matches online for UK viewers. Selected premium matches will be simulcast across both channels for maximum audience reach.
India & South Asia
Indian viewers can watch the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Sports18 and JioCinema. JioCinema offers free streaming access for registered users, making the tournament accessible to one of football's fastest-growing audiences. Coverage will be available in multiple Indian languages including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Bengali.
Rest of the World
FIFA has broadcast agreements covering every nation on earth for the 2026 World Cup. Check your local sports broadcaster for specific channel information. In most markets, the group stage matches are available on free-to-air television, with pay-TV broadcasters securing rights to the later knockout rounds and the final.
