The 2026 tournament is over, so where to watch World Cup 2026 today really means where to rewatch it. Spain beat Argentina 1-0 after extra time in the final on July 19, 2026 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, with Ferran Torres scoring in the 106th minute. In the US, the legal places to relive the tournament are the official broadcasters’ apps (FOX in English, Peacock and Telemundo in Spanish) plus official highlight channels.
Below we cover what you can still watch, how the tournament was broadcast in the US, and which big events come next.
Where to rewatch World Cup 2026 matches now
| Platform | Language | What to look for |
|---|---|---|
| FOX One / FOX Sports app | English | On-demand match replays and shows, subject to FOX’s post-tournament retention windows |
| Peacock | Spanish | Full-match replays were posted after every game; some may have been removed since |
| Tubi (free) | English | Hosted a free World Cup hub and full replays during the tournament; check what is still listed |
| FIFA+ (now on DAZN) | Varies | Free highlights and goals; full replays only where local broadcasters do not hold on-demand rights |
| Official YouTube channels | Varies | Highlights, goals and interviews from FOX, Telemundo and FIFA |
Availability of full replays shrinks over time as rights windows close, so if there is a match you want to keep watching, check these apps first. Be wary of random uploads claiming to be “full matches”: unless they come from an official broadcaster channel, they are usually unlicensed and get pulled.
How the 2026 World Cup was broadcast in the US
FOX held the English-language rights and Telemundo held the Spanish-language rights for all 104 matches.
- FOX aired 70 matches, including every knockout round and the final, free over the air
- FS1 carried the other 34 group-stage games on cable and live TV services
- FOX One, FOX’s streaming service, carried all 104 matches in English, with 4K on supported devices, for around $19.99 a month at the time
- Telemundo and Universo split the 104 matches on TV in Spanish
- Peacock held exclusive Spanish-language streaming of every match
- Tubi streamed a couple of opening matches free, including USA vs. Paraguay, and posted free replays during the event
It was the first men’s World Cup with 48 teams and 104 games, and the first hosted across the US, Canada and Mexico.
Rewatching the final and USMNT matches
The final aired on FOX in English and Telemundo in Spanish, and USMNT games followed the same split. Those are the matches most likely to stay available as replays or condensed versions on the official apps and channels. Start with the FOX Sports or FOX One app for English, and Peacock for Spanish.
For a smooth experience on the TV, an up-to-date streaming stick helps. See our best streaming device for 2026 guide.
Tips for finding legal replays
- Search inside the official broadcaster app first, not a web search, so you land on licensed video
- If you subscribed to FOX One or Peacock during the tournament, check your library before cancelling
- Use FIFA+ and official YouTube channels for goals and extended highlights
- Avoid “free stream” sites and unofficial playlists. They are unlicensed, often unsafe, and tend to vanish

What is next after World Cup 2026
- Club soccer is back: MLS resumed in July and heads into its playoffs, and the European leagues kicked off in August. Our guide to IPTV sports packages covers the main options
- 2027 Women’s World Cup in Brazil: Netflix holds the US rights to the 2027 and 2031 Women’s World Cups, so that tournament will stream there
- 2030 World Cup: hosted mainly by Spain, Portugal and Morocco, with centenary matches in South America
Why highlights are easier to find than full matches
Rights for full-match replays are usually sold to one broadcaster per country and for a limited time. Highlights and goal clips are licensed much more widely, which is why FIFA+ and YouTube are full of them while complete 90-minute replays sit only in the official apps. Once a broadcaster’s window closes, a full match may disappear entirely, even if highlights remain.
That makes timing matter. If you want to rewatch a particular game in full, do it sooner rather than later, and do it in the official app.
Watching replays on your TV
FOX One, the FOX Sports app, Peacock and Tubi all have apps for the main streaming platforms, so you can put a replay on the big screen rather than a phone. If an app stutters or is missing on an older smart TV, a current streaming stick usually fixes it for less than the cost of a month or two of a sports subscription. Remember that FOX One also includes a cloud DVR, so anything you recorded during the tournament may still be in your library.
Which option should you choose?
For English replays, start with FOX One or the FOX Sports app. For Spanish, Peacock is the main archive. If you only want the best moments, FIFA+ and official YouTube channels are free and legal.
If you want one subscription for a wide mix of live channels beyond a single league, our IPTV Journal plan is 12 months for $89 (about $7.40 a month) with 20,000+ channels, sports and 24/7 support. Whatever you choose, check exactly what is included before you pay, and remember that exclusive league packages are sold by their official rights holders.
