Everything You Need to Know
Watching the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the US is easier than ever. For the first time, FOX will have the rights to broadcast nearly every major fixture on their flagship network, meaning a significant portion of the games will be available free over-the-air with an antenna.
Spanish-speaking audiences are arguably even better served, with Telemundo planning the most expansive coverage in their history. Every single match will also be available for live streaming on Peacock for paid subscribers, making it the most affordable way to watch the entire tournament.
Regional Blackouts
Unlike MLB or NBA, the FIFA World Cup has NO regional blackouts in the USA. If it's on FOX, you can watch it anywhere in the country.
