How to Watch World Cup 2026 in the USA

Every match, every time zone — English and Spanish broadcasts, streaming apps, and what to do when you're abroad.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is the first 48-team edition and the first hosted across USA, Mexico, and Canada. If you're in the United States, you have more ways than ever to follow every group-stage thriller and knockout upset — on TV, streaming, and on the go.

English-language rights

Fox Sports holds English-language rights for World Cup 2026 in the USA. Expect matches on FOX, FS1, and the Fox Sports app. Knockout rounds and the biggest group-stage games typically land on the main FOX broadcast channel; deeper group-stage fixtures often shift to FS1.

A digital antenna can pick up FOX over-the-air in many markets — useful for cord-cutters who still want the flagship games live.

Spanish-language coverage

Telemundo and Univisioncover the tournament in Spanish across broadcast and streaming. If you prefer Spanish commentary — or want a second feed when FOX is showing another match — Telemundo's platforms are essential.

Best streaming options

  • Fubo — strong for soccer fans; includes Fox channels plus DVR so you can replay late-night West Coast kickoffs.
  • YouTube TV — simple cord-cutter bundle with Fox, FS1, and local channels.
  • Sling TV — budget option if you mainly need Fox Sports channels.
  • Peacock — check match listings for studio shows and select coverage complements.

Time zones matter

Host cities span Eastern to Pacific in the USA, plus Mexico and Canada. A 3 p.m. ET kickoff in New Jersey is noon in Los Angeles. Use the VAMOS26 Live Match Center for kickoff times in your local zone as the tournament approaches.

Watching abroad

Traveling during the World Cup? A VPN can help you access your home-country broadcast when you're outside the USA. Always follow provider terms of service and local laws.

Tickets & in-stadium

Nothing beats live football. Official FIFA sales, hospitality packages, and verified resale markets are your safest routes — avoid unofficial social-media sellers.
