How to watch the 2026 World Cup

Every match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup airs in the United States on FOX / FS1 (English) and Telemundo / Universo (Spanish), with Spanish coverage also streaming on Peacock. Matches on the FOX broadcast network are free over the air with a TV antenna. No single matches are exclusive to a paid app — if you can watch FOX and Telemundo, you can watch the whole tournament.
