Fox holds the US English-language rights to the FIFA World Cup 2026, and all 104 matches from June 11 through July 19 stream live on FOX One, the app that replaced FOX Sports on TV devices. FOX One is a free download from the Amazon Appstore on your Fire TV Stick, and the service costs $19.99 per month or $199.99 per year with a free trial for new users. Pay-TV subscribers can sign in with their provider login and watch at no extra cost.
You can also watch part of the tournament free. Tubi streams Mexico vs South Africa on June 11 and USA vs Paraguay on June 12 live and free in English, and all you need is a free account. In Spanish, the first eight group-stage matches from June 11 to June 13 play free on the Telemundo app with no login at all, while Peacock Premium streams all 104 matches in Spanish for $10.99 per month.
Tubi Gives You Two Live Matches for Free
Tubi carries two World Cup matches live at no charge in the US. Mexico vs South Africa kicks off June 11 at 3:00 PM ET with Fox pregame coverage from 1:00 PM ET, and USA vs Paraguay kicks off June 12 at 9:00 PM ET with pregame coverage from 6:00 PM ET.
A free Tubi account unlocks the live matches. Full-match replays post within 1 to 2 hours of the final whistle, replays and highlights need no sign-in at all, and Tubi's FIFA World Cup hub with FOX runs through July 19. The app is on the Amazon Appstore; your Fire TV needs a Fire TV OS version newer than 7.1.1000 to run it.
FOX One Streams Every Match in English
The standalone FOX Sports app for TV devices was discontinued on May 7, 2026 and now lives only on mobile and tablet, so FOX One is what you install on a television.
FOX One costs $19.99 per month or $199.99 per year with a free trial for new users, and you can subscribe at fox.com. Pay-TV subscribers skip the fee entirely by signing in with their provider login. On the broadcast side, 70 matches air on FOX and 34 on FS1, with 40 matches in primetime.
Every match is available in 4K on FOX One, and Multiview lets you watch up to four streams at once on supported devices. Live content includes ads, the app runs on more than 650 devices, and the service works only in the United States and US territories. Fox also offers a FOX One + ESPN bundle at $39.99 per month.
Peacock and the Telemundo App Carry the Spanish Broadcast
Peacock is the streaming home of Telemundo's Spanish-language coverage, with all 104 matches live in Spanish for Premium and Premium Plus subscribers. Premium costs $10.99 per month, Premium Plus is $16.99 per month, and annual Premium Plus runs $169.99 per year, making Premium the cheapest way to stream the whole tournament if Spanish commentary suits you.
Peacock also carries the tournament in Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos with Dolby AC-4 on supported devices, a streaming first for a major live sporting event. Multiview and a Catch Up with Key Plays feature are built in, and like FOX One, the app works only in the United States and its territories.
The first eight matches from June 11 to June 13 stream free on every Peacock tier, including Select, and free on the Telemundo app with no login. On TV, Telemundo airs 60 of the 72 group-stage matches and Universo airs 12, scheduled between June 24 and June 27. The Telemundo Fire TV app unlocks live TV when you sign in at no extra cost with TV provider credentials.
Fubo Brings FOX and FS1 to Cord Cutters
Fubo carries all 104 matches through FOX and FS1, which are included in its Sports, Pro, and Elite plans with no add-on needed. New users get a free trial, and Cloud DVR recording lets you save matches that kick off while you are at work.
On Fubo's official site, Essential and Pro are each $73.99 per month and Elite is $83.99 per month, with regional sports fees possible depending on your location. Watching in 4K requires the Elite plan, which carries FOX and FS1 in 4K.
YouTube TV Has a Cheaper Sports Plan for the Tournament
YouTube TV's base plan is $82.99 per month with more than 100 channels including FOX and FS1, and new members currently see a promo of $67.99 per month for the first 3 months plus a Try 10 days for $0 trial offer. A 4K Plus add-on costs $9.99 per month for 4K viewing on select content along with unlimited simultaneous streams at home.
For the World Cup specifically, new users get two cheaper routes to all 104 matches. The Sports Plan costs $54.99 per month for the first 12 months (then $64.99 per month) with more than 30 live channels including FOX, FS1, and FS2, or you can take FOX One on YouTube at $19.99 per month; both include Multiview, Key Plays, and up to 6 household logins with no long-term commitment.
The YouTube TV app is free on the Amazon Appstore, works with the Fire TV Voice Remote, and runs on select Fire TV devices. It is a separate app from regular YouTube.
Installing and Activating Your Chosen App on the Stick
Whichever service you pick, the install flow on a Fire TV Stick is the same.
- 1.From the home screen, go to Find > Search, or press and hold the Alexa Voice button on the remote and say the app name.
- 2.Type or say FOX One, Tubi, Peacock, Telemundo, Fubo, or YouTube TV.
- 3.Select the app from the results, then choose Get or the shopping-cart icon to download it.
- 4.Select Open once the download finishes.
For FOX One, subscribers activate the device at auth.fox.com/manage/foxone/activate, while pay-TV customers can instead select Connect Provider in the app and follow the on-screen instructions to sign in through their TV provider.
For Tubi, choose to sign in and enter the code shown on your TV at tubitv.com/activate from a phone or computer. For Peacock, sign in with your Peacock account; the Telemundo app needs no login for the June 11 to June 13 matches, and beyond those you sign in free with TV provider credentials.
Getting the Full 4K Picture on a 4K Stick
Every match is available in 4K on FOX One and most major pay-TV providers, and Fubo's Elite plan carries FOX and FS1 in 4K. A standard HD stick will not output 4K, so you need a 4K-capable model plugged into a 4K TV.
The Fire TV Stick 4K supports 4K Ultra HD with Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and Dolby Atmos audio, runs a quad-core 1.7 GHz processor, and supports Wi-Fi 6. On Peacock, supported devices get the Dolby Vision HDR picture and Dolby Atmos sound.
What to Do When a Stream Will Not Load
If a match freezes or will not play, close and reopen the streaming app first. Then restart the Fire TV Stick by going to Settings > My Fire TV > Restart, or by unplugging the power cord and plugging it back in.
Confirm your internet connection is working, and check the Appstore for pending app updates before trying again.
