TürkçeHow to Watch the 2026 World Cup: TV Channels & Live Streams
The 2026 World Cup is the biggest ever — 48 teams, 104 matches across the USA, Canada and Mexico. Here's where to watch every game, by channel and stream.
The 2026 World Cup is the largest in the tournament's history: 48 teams playing 104 matches across the United States, Canada and Mexico, from June 11 to July 19, 2026. With games kicking off in venues three time zones apart, the two questions everyone has are the same — what channel is it on, and what time does it start where I am. Here's how to watch, wherever you are.
Watching in the United States
US coverage is split between English and Spanish, and between free over-the-air TV and streaming:
- FOX — the main English-language home. Free over the air with an antenna, FOX carries 70 matches, including every USMNT game, the semi-finals and the final.
- FS1 — FOX's cable channel carries the remaining 34 matches. Requires a cable or live-TV subscription.
- Telemundo — free over-the-air Spanish coverage of 92 matches (a further 12 air on UNIVERSO).
- Peacock — streams Telemundo's Spanish-language coverage of all 104 matches for $7.99/month.
- FOX One / FOX Sports App — stream all 104 matches in English (FOX One is FOX's new direct-to-consumer service; the FOX Sports app needs a cable login and offers 4K).
- Tubi — free streaming of the opening ceremony plus two matches in 4K (Mexico v South Africa on June 11 and USMNT v Paraguay on June 12).
If you've cut the cord, live-TV streaming services that carry FOX and FS1 (such as Fubo and Sling) let you watch the English broadcast without cable.
Watching in other countries
Broadcast rights are sold country by country, so the channel changes depending on where you are — free-to-air in some markets, subscription in others. When Is Kickoff lists the official broadcaster for every participating country on each match page, so the fastest way to find your channel is to open the match you want and check the "Where to watch" section for your country.
Don't miss kickoff — check your timezone
With matches running from midday to late evening US time, kickoff in your own timezone can land anywhere from breakfast to the middle of the night. Every match page on When Is Kickoff shows the local kickoff time for your location and a countdown, and you can set a free reminder so you're never caught out by an early start.
