As the primary host nation of the 2026 World Cup, the USA has the most comprehensive tournament broadcast setup ever assembled. All 104 matches are available across two broadcaster partnerships — FOX Sports in English and Telemundo in Spanish — with every single game also available to stream online.
FOX Sports holds exclusive English-language broadcast rights for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States. Coverage is split across two channels with all 104 matches available to stream via FOX One and the FOX Sports app.
FOX Sports' 2026 World Cup schedule is set to take over the summer airwaves with all 104 matches airing across FOX (70) and FS1 (34). A record 40 matches — more than one-third of the tournament — will air in primetime.
Telemundo is the exclusive Spanish-language broadcaster of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, with live matches on Telemundo and Universo and streaming on Peacock and the Telemundo App.
There are several genuinely free or near-free ways to watch World Cup 2026 in the USA, depending on your language preference and setup.
All 70 FOX network matches — including every knockout round match from the Round of 32 to the Final — are broadcast free over the air. A one-time antenna purchase (typically $20–$50) gives you permanent free access to all FOX programming including the World Cup. This is the best value option if you don't already have cable or a streaming service.
Telemundo broadcasts 92 of the 104 matches free over the air in Spanish. If you watch in Spanish, a digital antenna covers almost the entire tournament for free.
Tubi will launch a dedicated FIFA World Cup FOX Hub featuring FOX Sports programming and tournament content. Live matches and related programming can be streamed through the Tubi app and website without a paid subscription — no MVPD authentication required.
Walmart+ subscribers get Peacock Premium included in their membership, giving access to all 104 matches in Spanish on Peacock at no additional cost.
If you're a cord-cutter wanting English-language coverage of all 104 matches, here are your main options:
| Service | Channels | Price | Free Trial |
|---|---|---|---|
| FOX One | FOX + FS1 (English) | $19.99/mo | 7 days |
| YouTube TV | FOX + FS1 + Telemundo + Universo | $82.99/mo (then standard) | 21 days |
| FuboTV | FOX + FS1 | From $79.99/mo | 7 days |
| Hulu + Live TV | FOX + FS1 + Telemundo + Universo | $82.99/mo | 3 days |
| DirecTV Stream | FOX + FS1 + Telemundo + Universo | From $64.99/mo | 5 days |
| Sling Blue | FS1 (FOX in select markets) | From $40/mo | None |
| Peacock Premium | All 104 (Spanish only) | $7.99/mo | Via Walmart+ |
For most cord-cutters, YouTube TV is the most complete option — it carries FOX, FS1, Telemundo, and Universo, covers the full tournament in both languages, and the 21-day free trial is the longest available. FOX One is the best standalone English-only option at the lowest monthly price.
The United States Men's National Team are in Group D alongside Australia, Paraguay, and Türkiye. As the primary host nation, all USMNT group matches are expected to air on the main FOX network — primetime, maximum audience.
| Date | Match | Venue | Channel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jun 12 | USA vs Paraguay | SoFi Stadium, Los Angeles | FOX |
| Jun 19 | USA vs Australia | Lumen Field, Seattle | FOX |
| Jun 25 | USA vs Türkiye | SoFi Stadium, Los Angeles | FOX |
If the USA advances from Group D, their Round of 32 match would fall between July 1–8 and their Round of 16 between July 10–13. All USMNT knockout matches air on FOX. Specific dates and venues depend on the group stage result and bracket position.
The USA hosts matches across 11 cities. Attending a match live is one of the most accessible options for American fans given the domestic venues — no international travel required.
| City | Venue | Stages Hosted |
|---|---|---|
| New York/New Jersey | MetLife Stadium | Group Stage, Knockouts, Final |
| Los Angeles | SoFi Stadium | Group Stage, Knockouts |
| Dallas | AT&T Stadium | Group Stage, Knockouts, Semifinal |
| San Francisco | Levi's Stadium | Group Stage, Knockouts |
| Miami | Hard Rock Stadium | Group Stage, Knockouts, 3rd Place |
| Seattle | Lumen Field | Group Stage, Knockouts |
| Boston | Gillette Stadium | Group Stage, Knockouts |
| Houston | NRG Stadium | Group Stage, Quarterfinal |
| Philadelphia | Lincoln Financial Field | Group Stage, Knockouts |
| Kansas City | Arrowhead Stadium | Group Stage |
| Atlanta | Mercedes-Benz Stadium | Group Stage, Knockouts |
Tickets for individual matches are available through the official FIFA ticketing platform at fifa.com/tickets. Group stage tickets are generally more available than knockout rounds — and significantly less expensive.
