FOX holds the English-language rights to the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, and all three USMNT group-stage matches air on the main FOX broadcast network, not FS1. The full tournament splits 70 matches to FOX and 34 to FS1, and every one of the 104 matches also streams live and on demand on FOX One and the FOX Sports app, so an antenna, a cable or satellite package, or any live TV service that carries your local FOX station covers the US games.
The cheapest legal route is genuinely free. Tubi streams the USMNT opener against Paraguay live on June 12 at 9 p.m. ET, in 4K on supported devices, and all it asks for is a free account with no credit card. If you watch in Spanish, the Telemundo app streams every match from the tournament's first three days, including USA vs Paraguay, with no login at all.
Stream USA vs Paraguay Free on Tubi
Tubi carries two confirmed free World Cup streams that matter here, the tournament opener between Mexico and South Africa on June 11 and the USMNT's first match against Paraguay on June 12 at 9 p.m. ET. Both are live simulcasts in 4K on supported hardware.
You need a free Tubi account to watch, but sign-up takes a minute and no credit card is required. Tubi runs on smart TVs, mobile devices, streaming devices, gaming consoles, and web browsers, so almost anything in your house can show the match.
One important limit applies. Only the opener and the USA vs Paraguay game are confirmed free on Tubi, so do not count on it for the Australia match on June 19 or the Turkiye match on June 25.
All Three USMNT Group Games Air on the FOX Broadcast Network
FOX assigned every US group match to its main broadcast channel, which makes this the easiest option if you already have any form of TV service. An over-the-air antenna pulling in your local FOX station shows them at no cost, and cable, satellite, and live TV streaming services that carry FOX work the same way.
Coverage starts well before kickoff. The June 12 Paraguay match gets a three-hour pregame show beginning at 6 p.m. ET ahead of the 9 p.m. ET kickoff, the June 19 Australia match has coverage from 1 p.m. ET before the 3 p.m. ET start, and the June 25 Turkiye match has coverage beginning at 9 p.m. ET before the 10 p.m. ET kickoff.
FOX One Streams Every Match and Carries the 4K Feeds
FOX One is the network's direct streaming service and the most complete single subscription for English-language coverage of this tournament. It streams all 104 matches live and on demand, with every match available in 4K, and FOX says 4K coverage also reaches most major pay-TV providers.
The service costs $19.99 per month at fox.com, and the sign-up page lists a free trial for new subscribers; the exact length appears at checkout. A promotion running through July 19 offers 3 months for $39.98 for eligible subscribers.
If you already pay a TV provider, you may not need to pay again. FOX One is included at no extra cost when you sign in with a participating TV provider login.
The lineup inside FOX One includes FOX Sports, FS1, FS2, FOX Deportes, FOX News, FOX Weather, FOX Business, Big Ten Network, local FOX stations, and the FOX network itself. Apps are available on Roku, Amazon Fire TV and Prime Video Channels, Apple TV, Google TV, Android TV, Samsung, LG, Vizio, Xbox, iOS, and Android, and the service supports DVR plus multiview of up to 4 live events at once.
Spanish Coverage Runs Through Telemundo and Peacock
Telemundo carries Spanish-language coverage of all three USMNT group matches, Paraguay on June 12 at 9 p.m. ET, Australia on June 19 at 3 p.m. ET, and Turkiye on June 25 at 10 p.m. ET, with each match also streaming on Peacock. In fact, all 104 matches stream live in Spanish on Peacock.

After that window you need a plan that includes live sports. Peacock Premium costs $10.99 per month or $109.99 per year, Premium Plus is $16.99 per month or $169.99 per year, and the cheaper Select tier at $7.99 per month or $79.99 per year excludes sports.
Peacock also has a technical edge. It streams Telemundo's World Cup coverage in Dolby Vision HDR with Dolby Atmos audio, delivered through Dolby AC-4 on supported devices, a combination NBCUniversal and Dolby describe as a streaming first, alongside Multiview and a key plays catch-up feature.
