The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be shown on a quartet of U.S. networks — FOX, FS1, Telemundo and Universo — with every match available in both English and Spanish.
English and Spanish Coverage
FOX and its sister channel FS1 will carry the entire tournament in English, while Telemundo and Universo will provide the same slate of games in Spanish, ensuring that fans can follow the action in their preferred language.
Free Streaming Pathways
Viewers can tune in without paying a subscription by taking advantage of free trials on services such as DirecTV, YouTube TV, FOX One and Peacock. YouTube TV offers a 21‑day trial that includes all required channels, DirecTV’s Entertainment tier grants a five‑day window to access Fox, FS1 and Telemundo, and FOX One provides a three‑day trial that unlocks every English‑language feed.
Peacock adds a further twist by offering a free, ad‑supported tier that streams all Spanish‑language matches, and it can be accessed through promotions like the half‑price annual plan on Walmart+. The tournament itself runs from June 11 to July 19, 2026, and its group‑stage matches will be staged across the United States, Mexico and Canada, giving fans in three countries a chance to experience the event live.
