2026 World Cup Deals Broken Down: Which Ones Are Worth Your Money?

With the 2026 FIFA World Cup right around the corner, it’s time to figure out how you’ll be tuning into the tournament. Whether you want to catch every single match or just make sure you have your preferred commentary team on lock, you’ll need to sort through the smattering of streaming promos available.

Before we dig into deals, a word on languages. Broadcasts of the 2026 FIFA World Cup are split along language lines: FOX Sports (including FOX, FS1, and FOX One) carries only English-language coverage, while Telemundo Deportes (including Telemundo, Universo, and Peacock Premium) offers only Spanish-language coverage.

I’ve been keeping a close eye on all the new discounts—for English and Spanish broadcasts alike—cropping up for the World Cup. Let me break down the best 2026 World Cup deals to help you decide which one’ll give you the most fútbol action for your buck, regardless of which language you speak.

YouTube TV World Cup deals: Best for Multilingual Viewing

•  10-day free trial: YouTube TV always offers a free trial, but the length varies. As of June 10, 2026, they’re serving up a 10-day free trial that gives you over a week to test the interface risk-free. If you decide you like it, a current discount drops the price to $67.99/mo. for your first three months. That gives you a total of $45 off your bill before the regular price of $82.99/mo. kicks back in.
• Sports Plan: If you only care about English broadcasts, you could opt for YouTube TV’s new Sports Plan. This tier features FOX and FS1 for a base price of $64.99/mo., but a current promotion lowers that cost to $54.99/mo. for a full 12 months.

Like I said, this is arguably the best option for hardcore World Cup watchers who want both English and Spanish-language broadcast coverage. However, if you only need one language, we’ve got some cheaper options for you below.

FOX One World Cup deals: Most Affordable (English)

• Buy 2 months, get 1 free: If you select this promo on the FOX One Subscribe page, you get three months of FOX One for $39.98. The World Cup lasts 39 days, so subscribers will need two months anyway, and FOX will want people to stick around longer. This offer ends July 19, the day of the World Cup Final.
• 3-day free trial: FOX One previously offered a seven-day free trial, but now it’s just three days with its standard monthly plan. This might be ideal for fans who already get FOX over-the-air but need FS1 for the busy end of the Group Stage, when FOX and FS1 games air simultaneously—particularly Thursday, June 25, through Saturday, June 27. FOX One has a multiview option, making it the perfect setup for that period of the tournament.

Our verdict: If you’re an English-language World Cup viewer, FOX One is the streamer to get. All 104 matches—70 on FOX and 34 on FS1—will stream live and on demand in 4K on FOX One. Just be sure to snag one of the deals above when you sign up.

Peacock World Cup deals: Most Affordable (Spanish)

• Discounted plans: Students, teachers, and military members can get Peacock Premium at a discounted price for 12 months, instead of the typical $10.99/mo. For students, the rate is $5.99/mo., while for teachers and military members, it’s $6.99.
• No-cost subscriptions: You may already be eligible for free Peacock and just not know it. Walmart+ and Instacart+ members get Peacock Premium at no extra cost. Meanwhile, Xfinity Internet customers with an eligible plan can also receive a free Peacock Premium subscription.
• Free matches: Peacock Select subscribers will get two key opening matches: Mexico vs. South Africa (June 11) and USA vs. Paraguay (June 12). However, apart from those matchups, subscribers need one of Peacock’s premium plans to enjoy the rest of the World Cup.

TL;DR: If you’re a Spanish-speaking soccer fan, Peacock is the streamer you’ll want for the World Cup.

Fubo World Cup deals

• 5-day free trial: If you want to use Fubo to watch the Cup, take advantage of its free trial to get used to the interface.
• $10 off: New subscribers can get a $10 discount the first month of the Sports + News plan (regularly $55.99/mo.), which includes FOX and FS1 to catch the matches in English.

TBH, we don’t recommend signing up for Fubo just to watch the Cup, as other providers in this guide offer the same thing for less (like FOX One).

DIRECTV World Cup deals

• $30 off: New streaming customers get $30 off their first month, after a five-day free trial.
• Language-specific Genre Packs: DIRECTV also offers a MySports Genre Pack that includes FOX and FS1 for $49.99/mo. for the first two months, which is a great pick for English-language viewers. The MiEspañol Genre Pack gets you Telemundo and Universo for $29.99/mo. for the first two months to watch the Cup en Español.

We’d recommend DIRECTV mainly if you’re a hardcore sports fan beyond the World Cup. As this page shows, there are cheaper options than DIRECTV if you only want to stream the Cup. But if you want top-tier, year-round sports coverage, we recommend giving DIRECTV a test drive.

Tubi World Cup deals

The free streaming service Tubi is packed with World Cup content, as highlighted on our Tubi World Cup page. Here are Tubi’s top offers:

• Free matches: While you can’t watch the entire tournament on the platform, fans can stream the two premier opening matches—Mexico vs. South Africa on June 11 and USA vs. Paraguay on June 12—completely free on the platform in English.
• World Cup hub: Tubi’s FIFA World Cup FOX Hub page, easily accessible from its homescreen, will be updated throughout the Cup with replays, highlights, analysis, and more.

Although Fox Corporation-owned Tubi’s main goal is funneling folks over to FOX One to catch the bulk of the World Cup matches, we still think Tubi is great both for casual World Cup fans who care more about highlights than catching every match, as well as budget-conscious fans who don’t wanna open their wallets (and TBH, who can blame them).

Which World Cup deal is the best?

On face value, any discount you can get on watching the World Cup seems great. But look closely—don’t get sucked into a multi-month subscription (cough, DIRECTV) when you only want a month-and-change’s worth of soccer content.

We do think YouTube TV and DIRECTV offer tons of great World Cup content, but their price tags are a bit too high for us to recommend them as our favorite World Cup deal.

That’s why we prefer cheaper streamer deals, which are plenty sufficient for viewers to catch all the matches without totally breaking the bank. That’ll be FOX One for English-language fans, and Peacock Premium for Spanish-language fans. Both are affordable, comprehensive options that are easy to cancel once the Cup’s up.
