YouTube TV carries every one of the tournament’s 104 matches live, backed by unlimited DVR and multiview built for fans who can’t catch every kickoff in real time.
WHAT MATCHES DOES IT CARRY?
YouTube TV carries every one of the 2026 World Cup’s 104 matches live in the United States, via FOX, FS1, Telemundo, and Universo — the tournament’s official English- and Spanish-language broadcast partners. Coverage runs from the June 11 opener through the July 19 final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
WHICH PLAN DO YOU NEED?
YouTube TV’s Sports Plan is built for exactly this kind of tournament: new subscribers pay $54.99/month for the first 12 months (regularly $64.99/month after), and it includes FOX, FS1, and local broadcast affiliates alongside ESPN, NBC Sports, and other sports networks. Fans who also want the national Telemundo and Univision/UniMás channels plus 100+ entertainment and news channels can instead choose YouTube TV’s base plan, $82.99/month ($67.99/month for new subscribers during the current promotional window).
KEY FEATURES
Both plans include unlimited Cloud DVR storage, so no match is missed even if kickoff falls during a workday. YouTube TV’s Key Plays feature lets latecomers catch up on major moments — goals, cards, VAR reviews — without a full replay, and the new customizable multiview lets fans combine up to four live channels on one screen, handy for tracking simultaneous group-stage matches. Accounts support 3 simultaneous streams (unlimited at home with the 4K Plus add-on), and up to 6 people can share one membership.
HOW TO SIGN UP
Head to tv.youtube.com, choose the Sports Plan or the base plan, and sign up with a Google account. A free trial is available for new subscribers. YouTube TV works on smartphones, tablets, computers, smart TVs, Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, Chromecast, Xbox, and PlayStation.
