The 2026 FIFA World Cup is set to be the biggest in history, expanding to 48 teams and 104 matches across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Whether you’re a die-hard supporter of the defending champions, Argentina, or a fan of one of the many debutants, catching the action live is easier than ever—if you know where to look.
From traditional terrestrial TV to high-definition streaming apps, here is your ultimate guide to watching the tournament from any corner of the globe.
How to Watch from Anywhere
The most reliable way to watch the World Cup is through your local official broadcaster. However, if you are traveling or live in a region where access is restricted, fans often use a VPN (Virtual Private Network). A VPN allows you to securely route your internet connection through a server in your home country, letting you access your familiar streaming subscriptions as if you were sitting in your living room.
