The 2026 FIFA World Cup has finally kicked off, bringing the biggest tournament in soccer history to the United States, Mexico and Canada! With 48 teams competing across all 104 matches, fans want to know the easiest — and most affordable — ways to watch every game live.
Whether you’re a traditional cable subscriber or a cord-cutter looking for free streaming options, there are more ways than ever to follow the action. Here’s how you can watch the 2026 FIFA World Cup without missing a moment.
In the U.S., English-language coverage of the World Cup is carried by FOX and FS1, while Spanish-language broadcasts are available through Telemundo. Many of the tournament’s biggest matches are airing on the FOX broadcast network, which means they’re available free over the air with a digital antenna.
Fans with cable or satellite subscriptions can watch every match through their TV packages if they include FOX, FS1 and Telemundo.
Many live-TV streaming services are offering free trial periods during the World Cup tournament, including Fubo, DIRECTV and other providers that carry FOX and FS1. These trials can provide access to live matches at no cost, but fans should keep in mind that this is temporary.
Additionally, Tubi is offering select World Cup coverage for free. The tournament opener between Mexico and South Africa is available to stream through Tubi.
