If you’re looking to watch any or all of the action from the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the entire tournament can be streamed with or without paying for a live TV package. If you’re fine with watching Spanish broadcasts, you can actually stream all the action for considerable less.
Over the next few weeks, 104 matches in total will be played across Canada, Mexico, and the United States, with the tournament concluding with the final on July 19, 2026.
The action begins this Thursday (June 11) with the Opening Ceremony in Mexico City. This will then be followed by the first match of the tournament where Mexico will take on South Africa.
The first USMNT match takes place this Friday (June 12), with the USA taking on Paraguay. The other USMNT Group D matches include Australia on June 19 and Turkey on June 25.

Bonus Mention
With monthly packages starting at just $19.99, Sling TV can actually be one of the cheapest options for a live TV package that includes Fox (local) and Fox Sports 1.
However, Sling only offers local Fox stations in select locations so soccer fans will want to confirm they’ll get access to their local Fox station before signing up.
Stream the World Cup Without a Live TV Package
The best way to watch this year’s World Cup without a live TV package is Fox One.
The standalone streaming service is home to everything Fox, including Fox Sports — the network broadcasting many of this year’s games.
In fact, all 104 matches during the tournament will be available to watch with a Fox One subscription, making it a great option for those looking for comprehensive coverage of the tournament.
A Fox One subscription costs $19.99/mo or $199.99/yr, and a 3-day free trial is available to new subscribers.
Stream the World Cup en español
While Fox and FS1 hold the English language rights to the FIFA World Cup in the United States, Telemundo holds the Spanish language rights.
This makes streaming the World Cup incredible cheap for Spanish-speaking audiences — or those simply looking for the cheapest option in general.
With Telemundo owned by Comcast through its NBCUniversal division, all of the FIFA World Cup matches this year are available to stream in Spanish on the Peacock streaming service for Peacock Premium and Premium Plus subscribers.
And with Peacock Premium starting at just $10.99 a month, this will be one of the very cheapest ways to stream this year’s tournament.
Peacock doesn’t offer a free trial anymore, so new subscribers will be expected to pay for the first month of their Premium subscription when signing up.
