You can watch the World Cup in English through the official broadcasters for your region, and the main options depend on where you are. In the U.S., FOX/FS1 and FOX One carry English coverage for all matches.

English viewing options

  • U.S.: FOX, FS1, FOX One, and the FOX Sports app offer English-language coverage of the tournament.
  • UK: BBC iPlayer and ITVX split the live matches in English, with the final shown on both.
  • Australia: SBS on Demand is listed as an English-language option for all matches.

Practical steps

  1. Check which broadcaster has the rights in your country.
  2. Use the broadcaster’s app or website.
  3. Create an account if required.
  4. If you are traveling, the service may be region-locked, so availability can change by location.
