The 2026 FIFA World Cup is actively reshaping international soccer with an unprecedented 48-team format spread across 16 host cities in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The tournament, running through July 19, marks the first time three nations have jointly hosted the event and expands the fixture list to a record 104 matches.
Group stage play is rolling through its second week with high stakes across the board. The USMNT secured a 2-0 shutout over Australia, while Canada routed Qatar with a historic 6-0 victory. An intense clash between Scotland and Morocco is currently ongoing, setting up a crucial weekend slate that features Netherlands vs. Sweden, Germany vs. Ivory Coast, and Spain vs. Saudi Arabia.
Fans in the United States can watch English-language coverage across the FOX Sports network, with streaming access available on platforms like YouTube TV and Fubo. For viewers needing the complete US broadcast schedule and FOX Sports streaming coverage details for the 2026 World Cup, the network is carrying all matches live.
International broadcast rights reflect the tournament’s expanded global footprint. BBC iPlayer and ITVX are splitting the coverage in the UK, SBS On Demand holds the rights in Australia, and RTÉ Player is streaming the games in Ireland. In a late-stage broadcast addition, ZEE5 secured a deal to show all 104 matches live across India.
