You can stream the 2026 FIFA World Cup legally through official broadcasters that vary by country; in the U.S., that means Fox/FS1 (English) and Telemundo/Universo (Spanish), plus their streaming apps Fox One and Peacock, and live-TV services like YouTube TV, Fubo, and DirecTV Stream.

Where to stream by platform (U.S.)

English-language streams

  • Fox One – Official Fox app/site; carries every match in English.
  • Live TV streaming services that include Fox/FS1: YouTube TV, Fubo, DirecTV Stream, Hulu + Live TV, Sling (Blue + Sports Extra in some markets).

Spanish-language streams

  • Peacock – NBCUniversal’s streaming service is carrying Spanish-language coverage of every match via Telemundo/Universo feeds.
  • Telemundo/Universo apps – If your TV provider or streaming bundle includes these channels, you can authenticate to watch live.
